Yes, they are an acquired taste.

Louise1:

They are very common in the South Pacific Islands...Hawaii has used them for different beliefs for many hundred of years. They originated in Polynesia from what I can recall. I think they are used mostly for luck or to keep evil spirits away.

Bloomer:

You may be correct! : >)

Mushybanna:

It should be easy to find one for sale. They're commonly available... however, depending on size it could be very expensive though.
