▲ 43 ▼ What is the most beloved food from where you live, and what's the most divisive? (retrofed.com) submitted 1 week ago by scallisto@retrofed.com to c/ask@piefed.social 40 comments fedilink hide all child comments For instance, in Australia, Tim Tams are always a treat, while you either really love or hate Vegemite. In Hong Kong, I can't really think of a divisive food, since almost all of it is 10/10 amazing!

But the smell is unmistakable, and almost universally polarising. The better quality — variety, not just freshness — the durian, the stronger the smell.
