I think Fig was making a sly joke because natto is so... what's the
word... "unique".... Most people like or don't mind kimchi, but
natto splits the human race into two very clear-cut halves... When I
first tried it many years ago at a Japanese restaurant, I wasn't just
disgusted; I was ready to become an anti-natto activist with bumper
stickers and t-shirts, and lobby congress to rid our country of this
menace to all the values we hold dear, etc... Something like that...
(just joking of course).... But definitely the most offensive food
experience I've ever had.... That was before I got into NT and all
this stuff... Now I even eat bugs and raw organs meats...
LOL

Actually, this reminds me of something I found recently, a site that
sells "got natto?" and "I love natto" t-shirts, etc. Some of their
other "messages" are a little sketchy (typical soy/vegetarian kind of
thing) though.

I have to admit it's very tempting to wear a "got natto?" t-shirt!
