I haven't. I'm not even sure I've seen one. I've definitely read about them, but I'm not sure I understand what they smell like or what they taste like and how is it possible that people can comfortably eat something that they agree it smells horrible. We're not talking stinky like cheese or salami, but actually unpleasant if I understand correctly.

So please, do share your experience! Thanks

It doesn't smell bad to me at all, and it tastes absolutely delicious. I believe it's because I actually can't smell the badness. To me, it tastes like a sweet rich custard.
