Stinky food sickens 12, forces dozens from workplace
Mercury News ^ | 23 June 2020

Police, firefighters and emergency services were called to a post office in the Bavarian town of Schweinfurt on Saturday after staff noticed the smell coming from a package.

...The entire building was evacuated, with around 60 employees forced to leave, before the package was carefully examined.

“A total of 12 postal workers who complained of nausea had to be taken care of on site,”

Six ambulances, five first-responder cars and two emergency vehicles attended the incident. Three fire departments were also involved.

The fruit was eventually delivered to its intended recipient, a 50-year-old Schweinfurt resident.

Laotian padaek (fish sauce)is the worst. I spilled some on the car seat once and had to throw away the entire car.

Lao and Thai make some stinky sauce.
Most of it’s tasty.

One of the world's largest and rarest flowering structures, the corpse flower is a pungent plant that blooms rarely and only for a short time.

While it is in bloom, the flower emits a strong odor similar to rotting meat or, aptly, a decaying corpse.

“I spilled some on the car seat once and had to throw away the entire car.”

And the legendary stories of my youth about the old guy dying in the new Corvette, selling cheap cause they could not remove the smell?

Might that be true?
Might have been a loose cap on the nuoc mam?

A friend’s Korean sister in law was visiting and offered to prepare a traditional Korean meal.

They all went to a movie as she cooked.
On return, he knew there was a problem, the spices were so strong he could detect them at the door.

He said the meal was nice but your eyes would water in the kitchen!
They washed and scrubbed to no avail.

They repainted the entire kitchen to cover the scent.

I made kimchi last winter but did not repaint.
Once made something that required fish sauce added to a hot skillet. Repainting was a serious consideration.

Near as I can determine, most families and every village make a different variation of kimchi.

And what is available from the garden and the sea...

Like any fruit there are variations and Ive never lived anywhere that I could get them fresh off of the tree so I see that some might get that and of course our sense varies from one person to the next. That’s generally probably a more enticing description than “slightly spoiled overly sautéed sweet onions in cheese pastry filling.”
