i am singaporean, therefore i eat

But I just cannot understand why certain food can be so popular. Doesn't even taste or look good. And some smell really bad.

List of really yucky food (fruits included, you know what's coming up) which I don't know why people like:

• Durians
  
• Banana in its unadulterated form
• Papayas
• Bak Kut Teh
• Chicken wings/thighs
• Fish with bones
• Kong Bah - the pau I eat
• Braised pork anything or roasted pork.. hang on pigs in general. Their purpose should be for viewing not eating.
  
• Duck done anyway (except Peking duck)
  
• Kuay chap
• Lor Mee (didn't realise it had shit loads of vinegar and starch in it.)

I'm sure this list will grow. Just can't think of anymore. I mean I am easy to please just beans on toast* will make me a happy girl, so I cannot understand how things like Bak Kut Teh is even FOOD!


*Beans on toasts - thought I invented it as a kid, till I realised it has been around - daaaaammmmmnnnn you fish n chips nation!
