5 Of The Most Smelliest Foods

5 Most Smelliest Foods In The Worlds

 # 1 Food: Century Egg 

      Smells Like: Sulfur & Ammonia 

The first food is one I already talked about and it is the Century Egg from China and is cured from ash, salt, clay, quicklime, and rice hulls. The Ammonia smell was so bad people thought they were soaked in horse urine... they aren't.

#2 Food: Natto

     Smells Like: Pungent Cheese & Old Socks

This food actually has health benefits from the compound Pyrazine which can help stop blood clots. 

 #3 Food: Hongeo

     Smells Like: Urine

This is a South Korea food that people say is like "Licking a Urinal" because the fish has no bladder or kidneys the uric acid oozes out of the skin and then is fermented for 15 days where the uric acid turns to ammonia which can burn your eyes and nose down to your lung. It's also chewy and hard to swallow.

#4 Food: Stinky Tofu

     Smells Like: Open Sewer

The tofu is mainly sold at outside vendors then inside restaurants and is usually made with: fermented milk, meat, and veggies and sometimes takes several months to prepare. Some fans say the smellier the better!

#5 Food: Durian

    Smells Like: "Roadkill wrapped in sweaty socks"

 

In South East Asia this "special" food is SO bad that it is actually banned in certain buildings just because of the smell and animals can even smell it from miles away.
