Pretty much any fermeted food is going to be an acquired taste and take a while to get used to (if ever).
I happen to love French cheeses but I know some of my foodie friends won't find them enjoyable.
I suspect this to be a natural distrust of the body regarding fermented things, slowly easing the taste into things that the body can recognize as safe. But I don't have any evidence to back that up.
