What stinky foods or snacks do you like?

Asked by charliecompany34 (7813points) December 7th, 2008

my youngest son loves “funyuns,” an onion flavored snack chip. my oldest son enjoys “chitterlings” or “chitlins,” i.e., pig intestines. what? yeah, pig guts, and they stink like hell. what foods do you eat that smell bad. only you can enjoy it, but the company around you wishes you’d just eat something else.

Stinky? I try to avoid those considering I don’t want to kill people with my breath.

Anchovies; strong cheeses; garlic; sauteed onions; raw red onions…

One of my favorite things is an everything bagel with cream cheese, tomato slices, raw red onions, smoked salmon, and capers, all topped off with a little salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime juice. It’s lovely! (It used to be a favorite, anyhow, when I ate wheat.)

(^^ gag to onions)

Umm.. I like crab dip with Ruffles potato chips. Fish is smelly, right?
I like feta cheese and kalamata olives too. My mom hates both and makes an awful face when I even mention them (much like I did to the onion lovers responses).
Corn Nuts are sometimes stinky too, but oh so good.

Flat Earth Garlic Veggie chips.

Pizza with extra anchovies.

A bread bowl cored & rubbed with garlicky olive oil, then melt brie in it and dip with sourdough squares. With a dry white wine, pure heaven and all the angels have equally garlic/brie breath.

And then my family forced me to eat it on the back porch cause they didnt want to deal with the smell lol. mmmm nothing like making out with a cow for lunch.

Dried Fish commonly known as “buwad” here… non-Filipinos absolutely despise the smell—but i love it :P

Herring. With onions.

@wenbert what does that taste like? Ive seen the dried fish in stores in china town quite a few times and have always been curious, but never picked on up.

McBean's avatar

Growing up in a Chinese household, we ate a dried salted fish (it was steamed in oil in a little dish right in the rice pot), and it was called…uh…not sure how to spell it, but it was pronounced hom ng-nooey. I t was really delicious, and used as a condiment because it was so salty. The first time I tasted an anchovy fillet packed in oil I thought it tasted identical to the Chinese salted fish. I wonder if the “buwad” tastes about the same.

El_Cadejo's avatar

I hope not, for some reason i never could do anchovies. Theyre far to salty for me. It seems as Chinese cuisine seems to be quite fond of salt though. I recall one time in china town i had some kind of lemonade like drink that was incredibly salty.

Eating anchovies is like eating little salt bombs, this is true. However, for dishes that are complimented by a bit of salt (plus the richness of the rest of the anchovy flavor), I’ll throw some in. Like maybe 5–6 anchovies per pot of pasta sauce. They dissolve and you can’t see them anymore or taste them independently, you just know that the whole dish is enhanced.

Anchovies, smoked salmon, pickled herring, bleu cheese, kim chee, pickled garlic, fun yu (fermented bean curd), fermented black beans, brie, and Schelvislever (cod livers packed in oil)

McBean's avatar

Darwin wins! I’ve never even heard of Schelvislever. No doubt, it’s an acquired taste, right?

Darwin's avatar

If you are an American, yes, but if you are Dutch it is a wonderful and natural food (altho. the ones I can get in our area seem to be canned mostly in Denmark).

You spread it on hot, buttered toast and sprinkle it with a bit of lemon juice.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@laureth saute some garlic, oil, and anchovies in a pan and then add in the red sauce. yummmmmm.

laureth's avatar
