Answer 2

Being an aussie all I hear about from the rest of the world is "vegemite is an acquired taste". I like it, I eat it by the spoonful like nutella or peanut butter. But when I first get foreigners to try it I do tell them to spread it on their buttered toast as if they were sprinkling salt or pepper on a dish, "less is more". They need to start with small amounts until they acquire a taste for it. ;)

Answer 3

Durian! the fruit is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and a formidable thorn-covered husk. .
Travel and food writer Richard Sterling says:

“ ... its odor is best described as pig-****, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away. Despite its great local popularity, the raw fruit is forbidden from some establishments such as hotels, subways and airports, including public transportation in Southeast Asia.

Answer 4

Beer is an acquired taste. Most people don't like it the first time the taste it.

Answer 5

Flax, and Tea. I used to hate tea, but after drinking it for a while I've come to enjoy the taste of it. Flax is still pretty gross, but I eat it anyway because it's so good for you. Coffee I believe as well is acquired. Never liked that till I got pregnant, then I started craving it. Now I drink it pretty much 24/7

Answer 6

Oysters, olives, dark chocolate, beer, dry wine, cavier, ramps (wild onions), polk salad (greens cooked in the South), cracklins (crispy pork intestines, a Southern favorite), "killed" lettuce (another Southern favorite--fresh greens drowned with hot bacon grease), pigs feet (I STILL haven't developed that taste!), peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches
