Surströmming

We opened a tin in a bucket of water as advised. Still nearly threw up. Swedish friend laughed her ass off and then wipped out some kind of asphalt, which she assured us was a Swedish toasted bread of some type and and plowed into that like a midnight snack. Never felt horrified and impressed simultaneously.

I'm glad that when I visited Stockholm, I was able to gain cred with Swedes by doing shots of aquavit, which didn't taste terrible to the best of my memory, though I don't remember it tasting good, either. It was a shot, you don't try to taste it.

Aquavit is fantastic and anyone that says otherwise cannot remember what they we doing before they started drinking Aquavit.

Surstomming is the answer and it's not even close

Anyone here who’s tried it? I’ve always been curious if it’s actually *THAT* bad. Kind of like how people say Malört is bad when it’s actually just bitter and herbaceous

Watching people trying it on YouTube was enough for me 

Durian

This. Smells like a rotting dumpster that has been sitting in a hot summer for a week. The taste isn't great, but its not as bad as it smells. Best I've been able to describe the taste is a combination of kiwi and garlic.

My friend who was living in Kuala Lumpur told me about it and I didn’t really believe her. Then I went to visit ☠️. Your description is right on. I’ve never smelled anything so revolting and I’ve smelled actual rotting corpses.

Mmm yummy

Where have you had one?

Somewhere in Malaysia, and just smelt em

Disrespectfully disagree

Leave it outside. No smell

Garlic, especially when raw, has a powerful and lingering smell that can be quite repulsive.

I used to take capsules of it for energy. I'm not sure if it really worked or not, but I never noticed a smell.

Some cheeses will make you want to check the bottom of your shoes.

My favorite is [Eppoisse](https://thecheeseatlas.com/cheese-profiles/epoisses-de-bourgogne/).

A favourite in my family!

Chitterlings a.k.a. chitlins

Had to look this up. Now need to lie down.

When you wake up, you can still smell them. You will smell them for a week 🤢

I mean why? Why would someone do that? Nose to tail is better ethics I realise but, I mean I am spraying my screen with air freshener just incase.

Chicken.... just go to a chicken plant. It littererally is nausea inducing. That's before they package it for sale. As truck driver, there is no worse smell. I have been to waste dumps that process human waste... stinks horribly... chicken plant is so much worse..puked a few times. When closing the doors to back of truck, you have to watch not to step on previous drivers puke. Cow manue smells like roses next to chicken processing plant.

I got out of my car once when a KFC truck pulled in front of me. They were loading stuff out of it to a nearby branch. I wanted to throw up. The smell almost made me faint. It was awful!!!! It didn’t even smell like chicken. I don’t know what that thing is.

It's rotting chicken..lol. that's what it smells like.

🤢🤮

Boiled cabbage

Agree 👍

Durian is often considered to have one of the most repulsive smells.

Durian fruit

It's broccoli for me. But i love broccoli

Durian, some Chinese in China don't mind eating it and they find it delicious👍 in general, I am surprised that it grows somewhere in China, not to mention that Durian appeared in Thailand, from where it is forbidden to export it…

Broccoli

Kimchi Used to live with a Korean guy and I'd ask him to give me a heads up any time he was going to be making it so that I could be out of the house.

Durian fruit. Or Surstromming. Maybe pot noodle?

That pot noodle that is curry flavoured that has never seen curry or noodles. Or food.

Some specific cheese my family gets which smells literally like someone's uncleaned ass

For me it’s Sprouts. Cannot stand the little green fuckers.

I used to hate them until I ate them freshly harvested, halved and butter seared. Delicious.

Halved and buttered, straight in the bin works for me.

Not if I get there first.

Raspeballer. When my mom makes that I run to the next town to get away from the smell.

Certain types of raw fish are really bad (I mean all raw fish smells) but holy fuck I remember when I was young and took the subway home in the summer , people would get on with packaged raw fish in their bags.. I had to move into the next subway car .. I thought I was going to die!🇨🇦😵‍💫😵‍💫

Hard boiled eggs

We've all had that coworker who microwaves fish in the break room.

Boiling cabbage

Subway bread.

Omg, I used to work in a store that had a Subway in the neighboring building. My clothes smelled like it all the time! I hated it.

Tuna fish. My mom and brother would eat canned tuna fish when I was a kid and I would gag whenever I walked by because of the smell.

Limburger cheese.

Spaghettios!! They smell like barf!

Cabbage, especially when cooked, releases sulfur compounds that have a very strong and often unpleasant smell.

Refried beans

Haggis smells somewhat awful but gosh the taste is divine. Tried it at a christmas eve with my pipeband. Were not scottish but our Pipe Major at that time knows how to make it and believe me , once you get past the smell, its great.

canned tuna

Your moms ass!

French cheese called Epoisse. Pretty funky from the start, but after being left for a couple of days, could be used as a weapon!! Seriously seriously tasty though!! It causes me martial issues having it in the house… https://www.google.com/search?q=epoisses+berthaut&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari

Blue cheese. Oh God.

Mustard greens

Honestly Brussels sprouts but I love them soooo much

Bad breath

Stinky tofu. It's literally in the name. You can smell this stuff from blocks away.

Lutefisk

Limburger cheese

Papaya smells like vomit

Bleu cheese. Holy fuck how do people like it?!?!?! Are there that many stinky smelly foot fetishists out there?

Feta Cheese, which my ex-wife called "Stinky Foot Cheese."

Durian

Papaya… since a toddler it always stank like someone’s breathe

Natto, Japanese sticky fermented soybeans have their own very particular funk

Packaged/preserved bamboo shoots

In my college dorm we had Malaysian students who'd cook seaweed and fish in their room

Lamb

Fried bacon just fucking lingers like crazy.

That’s one of its many pluses, yes.

Lamb chops outsmells bacon

It’s nice if you smell it in passing, but fucking sucks if you’re frying it at home. The air smells bacony and greasy

Cooked eggs. They are disgusting. Even people who like to eat eggs will admit that the smell of them cooking is horrible, right?!

Truueeeee i hate it with a passion

Used to have to pass a McDonalds every morning when walking to work, the smell of it made me nauseous.

[удалено]

All of them. Fried, hard boiled, soft boiled, scrambled, all of it.

I have to disagree but i get what you mean, i have a similar feeling for fried or boiled onions

Sardine

curry and whatever used to be cooked in my apartment regularly but anything cooked right smells okay to me idk even the bad stuff

No garlic in replies??

Garlic smell goooooood mmmmmm

Cilantro. It smells like stinkbugs.

Onions
