  • I’m native, but i also have nephews and nieces that dislike the smell at first but once tasted it are fine with it, so assuming their perspective aligned with people who doesn’t grow up with it.

    Another example i can give is smelly tofu, i don’t grow up with it, never had it, never know how it smell, but when i’m in college i moved to city with people selling it, i hated the smell whenever i went to that particular night market because it smell like sewage, but once i tasted it, it’s like a whole new perspective. I now crave it once in a while, and will recognise the smell as something distinct.

    On the other end, i actually hate petai/stink bean despite growing up in a family that had it very often back then. I just can’t take the smell. So i feels like, unlike cilantro, it’s something you have to overcome both the smell and texture, and if you don’t like it you don’t like it.
