I'm with you BillD... we're 'programmed' to avoid eating stinky stuff that might make us ill, just as babies are 'programmed' not to eat stuff they don't recognise for the first few months of their lives (this little trigger goes away after about 8 months and they start experimenting with other stuff. There are a tiny number of children for whom this trigger never quite goes and they're the ones labelled 'picky eaters').

I'm not a cheese fan anyway, but to actively put something that smells that bad into my mouth - no way!!!

Manitas on the other hand is a cheese lover. We were staying with friends a while ago and he bought some debatable cheese... when we left (the friends were staying on a few more days) he was asked to please take it with him as they couldn't stand it any longer!
