In America, we have all the stinky foods. That’s life in the Melting Pot for you.

In Bolivia there are these “potato truffles” for lack of a better description, called chuño. They are potatoes that are left to freeze-dry/rot outside on the high Andes mountain plain, then trampled on by foot to remove excess moisture, and then froze again repeatedly until they are shriveled up and black. Yum. Needless to say, I do not care for these when my mother-in-law cooks with them. No rotten foot potatoes for me, please. Just think about the breath on that one.

In reply to Madalina. You forgot to mention the pickled cabbage [or sour cabbage] lol. it stinks badly but it's good as salad. or for cabbage rolls.. My aunt makes assorted pickles [with cauliflower, carrots, green tomatoes, and other stuff] and she ALWAYS adds garlic to the thing. I like pickles, especially the assorted ones, but can we PLEASE stop adding the garlic? XDD

The Taiwanese have a dish called Stinky Tofu. Literally. It’s fermented tofu that’s been fried and you dip it in hot sauce and soy sauce. So good!

Durian and Bagoong (fermented shrimp paste). Personally, I love the latter, especially when paired with Green Mangoes!

I don’t know if I can be proud of this, but Swedes have the smelliest food in the world, Surströmming! Basically it’s fermented herring, and you can’t eat it indoors. (Unless you want your house smelling of rotten garbage forever. It’s almost impossible to get the smell out.) 😉

Hmm the Dutch version of peanutbutter stinks pretty bad. >_<
We have a store (HEMA) in the netherlands whom sells smoked sausages and then the whole store smells like it. But that sausage doesn't only smells it tastes super good as well. 😀

My mom is Vietnamese so we have a bunch of stinky type foods. One of which is called Chả Trứng. It’s an egg, pork and some other stuff meatloaf type dish. It’s fairly fragrant and we often nickname it as “stinky pork” when we refer to it in the family.

Since I’m turkish, we have a “garlic sausage” called Sucuk. It’s beef, lamb and/or veal with many many spices, packed originally in lamb intestine (today in some kind of artificial intestine) and then either dried raw or smoked. Usually eaten at breakfast by cutting it in slices and then frying in the pan. It has a pretty strong smell and is – of course – delicious!

I was so surprised at the amount of onion Koreans eat and they’re breath is still pretty decent. In Romania, just by talking casually with a person you can tell they’ve had some onion that day. And the garlic souce.. oh dear. We even have a saying, that the best way to get rid of the onion smell is to have some garlic.
