Apparently our very own Bloodbeard has tasted one of the top contenders for the smelliest food in the world, surströmming (straight translation: “sour herring”).
He claims to have survived the event.
Surströmming, which is basically fermented rotten fish in a can prone to bulging, is an infamous Swedish dish, with such a strong odour that birds, those stress-sensitive avians, are rumoured to risk death upon smelling a strong dose of it. It is considered folly to open a can of it indoors.
Considered by some to be nothing short of a chemical weapon, by others a traditional delicatess best eaten with complimentary stuff on a sandwich, it was recently tested by Americans.
It was freaking gross! We opened the can in a bucket of water. Flies landed on the water surface and died! The herring continued to bubble from all the fermentation.
It was so disgusting! We ended up burning the remains in a fire. Space Marine purging style.
Im swedish and i cant really recommend it. Yet i eat it sometimes with well chosen side dishes. To eat it alone without anything would be nothing short of madness since it tastes exactly like it smells , rotten farts!

Interesting link for top ten stinkiest foods. I've encountered two of the ten:
1) On my travels in Japan, I was introduced to natto, which is pretty #@*! horrible, even worse when you smell it on someones breath. But I think Japanese fish oden soup is even more disgusting :(
2) Durian is popular in Thailand, but banned in most hotels and the Bangkok airports because of the smell. I love it! And durian candies and fried chips are delicious <3

So there should be a WFB magic item "Can of Surströmming" that automatically inflicts D10 STR10 hits on nurgle flies
:sick
All the above mentioned “meals” are something special. I read the wiki descriptions. Boy, oh boy!
Hey Bloodbeard no joke with the dying fly’s? If that really happend it must be rad stuff.
And if I could add something to that list it would be “Sauerkraut und Blutwurst”. It’s a national dish. I can’t stand it. Not as bad as your above mentioned stuff nevertheless disgusting.

10/10 we did it for the Emperor (The metal band of course)
Anyway i heard of that before too, i wonder the smell when it comes out from behind after some time.
Here in Italy, in few small hidden secret places in Sardegna, living flooded into sheeps, there is a cheese so rotten that is filled with maggots, called Casu Marzu (Rotten Chees in their dialect, you dont say?)
People who had the chance to eat that were like "best creamy stuff ever" while what you eat is literally maggots poop after they ate the previous good cheese.
Like wtf. k. nope. NOPE.
