Vegemite
Vegemite on toast. That's how almost everyone in Australia eats it. I have a British friend who had it on her breakfast table and I had to try it. Before she could tell me how to eat it, I dipped a knife into the tub and licked it. Pure salty, fermented-tasting yuckiness. I couldn't believe so many people love it. They eat it with cream cheese, with tomato, on toast, three times a day. But to me, a person obviously not raised on Vegemite, it tasted like gummy, resiny, yeasty, pasty bullion nastiness.

Similarly weird? Soursop, aka Graviola
