What smells bad but tastes good?


  1. Kimchi. I'll come home from work and immediately gag when I walk in the front door. I'll say to my wife "I think something went bad in the trash, or maybe the garbage disposal", but no, she's just eating Kimchi straight from the jar... It's delicious, but goddamn it smells like rotten garbage.

  2. Many, many cheeses

  3. Cooked Brussel sprouts. They smell like farts but farts I'd like to eat.

  4. Durian! I love it; it’s creamy and sweet.

  5. Asparagus. Stinky cooking, delicious eating, stinky peeing. Also, artichokes. They stink up the house when I steam them, but they are delicious.

  7. Fish Sauce. I have to hold my breath when I bring it out, but I wouldn't want a stir fry without it!

  9. I sprout mung beans on a damp paper towel in my desk drawer. Very nutritious, but they smell like death
