As someone with a partner that likes stinky tofu, I have to say that the smell is pungent, and I ask them to eat it outside.

She considers it delicious and a comfort food. Durian is almost as controversial. I used to eat that when working on-site in Singapore.

The trick with Durian is to freeze it. As it thaws you get all the creamy deliciousness, and none of the odor. Of course if you like Durian, that odor makes you feel happy. I love durian.
