It wasn't exactly the smell of Durian that did me in, though I am sure it was involved. Durian shifts from being a really tasty custard/caramel flavour to a horridly putrescent flavour. I've never had such joy combined with such horror in my mouth.
As for Dog... I haven't had it but know that it's pretty common in Korea. What you point out is my biggest problem eating new foods here... the style of cooking is so different that I don't always know if the reason I dislike something is because of bad preparation or just that I don't like the dish. It's why I tend to subject myself to some of the dishes more than once just to be sure.
