Had to look it up. Fermented fish and stuff.

Must smell as bad as it tastes.

Woman to boyfriend: What’s that smell of garum on your breath? Have you been sneaking around to see that camel tender Crameria? Her innocent look never fooled me.

Not very fishy at all.

Have you tried Vietnamese fish sauces? These are similar.

Not really any fish. Taste is 60% salt, 30% cheese, 5% wine, and the other 5% a mixture of things you cant put your finger on.

Maine has a brand of garum now made from eels. I havent tried this one yet, maybe you should give it a try?

The making of it was foul but once it was finished and strained it was tasty and the aroma was light.

As with anything, over indulgence could lead to problems.
