heh. when I went to Japan, a friend of mine (also from .br) who lived there made it a point to bring me some nattō because "I had to try it!"
I'm kind of famous for eating pretty much anything, and enjoying trying stuff, but I confess I didn't particularly enjoy it. only after I'd had some did he tell me he couldn't stand the thing, and he'd brought me some just to mess with me. I suppose he disliked it a lot more than I did :-)
