Flavor and taste are fundamentally linked, so if something smells better, it's pretty much the same thing as tasting better.


That's not a given, though. Take some French cheeses which stink unbelievably bad yet have a smooth, creamy & almost sweet taste. The disconnect can be quite surprising. I'm told that Durian fruit can be similar but I have not encountered that monster… yet. :)


When you decide to try Durian, my recommendation is to freeze it. When you take it out of the freezer to eat it, it will be creamy and sweet while minimizing the odor.


Also fish sauces and pastes, fermented fish or soy products (chòu dòufu, nattō, …).
