Hi everyone. First post here.
I'd probably get slagged but I'm an Indonesian born Chinese and I love shark fin soup.
The food that I'll never touch is an Asian fruit named Durian. The smell is just plain disgusting. Thankfully my hubby doesn't like it as well because a lot of people do, including my parents and siblings.
P.S. removed the links in the quoted post as I'm not allowed to post links yet.
