Do you enjoy eating stinky food?

Asked by gondwanalon (22888points) 1 month ago

Stinky Asian foods like:
Natto (Japanese fermented soybeans).
Kimchi (Korean fermented vegetables).
Hongeo-hoe (Korean fermented fish).
Aged fish (Chinese).
Stinky tofu (Chinese).

My wife is Chinese and loves all the above. She calls it, “Soul food”. We’ve been married for 33 years and I’m exposed to it a lot. I even tried to eat some of it. I don’t care for any of it but can tolerate the stinky tofu if I dilute it with mounds of rice. Tried a small piece of aged fish once and nearly vomited on the table. So repulsive.

While in night markets in Taiwan and China I smelled a meat dish that smelled a lot like dog that’s been left to rot for a couple months. Then while flying from China to Canada I sat next to a nice Asian woman who obviously enjoyed eating such a dish. She was very talkative but her breath was toxic (with the similar rotting dog smell). It was a very long flight. HA!

What’s your favorite stinky food?
