    Asparagus and brussel sprouts. My daughter always ask if the dog pooped on the floor :/

    Liverwurst

    And liver and onions - at least when cooking.

    I agree with eggs, especially hard-boiled. Any cooked greens have a sulfur-like smell while they are simmering/braising/boiling.

    My mother's New England Boiled Dinner (corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots boiled to death).

    Cabbage, raw or boiled, smells foul - but it is so delicious

    Few foods smell bad to me but I will not eat those that do.

    The only things that I can think of right now are liver (in its raw form, no problem if its processed into foie gras, pate or liverswurst), durian and incompletely cleaned tripe or intestines (if it smells poopy, I won't eat it, but otherwise it's not a problem).

    Beets. Nothing worse than boiling beets.

    Hard boiled eggs and Stilton cheese. The latter smells like dirty socks.

    Papaya
    Jackfruit
    Fish sauce
    Brussels sprouts
    Many hard cheeses

    I can't weigh in on Durian -- it smells so strongly of sewage, I haven't been able to get close enough to eat it.

    Quinoa. It smells like cut grass, but I like the taste.

    The smell of cooked broccoli gets complaints in my house, but everyone likes to eat it.

    So many I see others have named...pickles, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kimchi, fish sauce, boiled eggs, feta, etc.

    Garlic in general.

    Subway (the restaurant) smells exactly like vomit to me when I walk in...I think it's some of the bread they have baked, and I always get the flatbread, so I'm not sure if this one counts. I like a nice steak & egg breakfast sub there now and then...the smell is just gross to me. Once I was in the post office immediately after lunch at Subway and I thought someone in the line had puked on themselves and it turned out it was MY JACKET :cold_sweat:

    Asafetida/asafoetida, which is a flavoring. I've bought it, but never could bring myself to put it in food I was cooking. Raw, it smells like rotting dead animal flesh. Strongly, even in small amounts, at quite a distance. Awful.

    But I've had food cooked with it, and it was delicious.

    Durian.

    Durian all the way baby. I ordered a durian shake on the second date with my now husband. He thought I was kiddding and the restaurant was in on the joke. No way I'd make a joke by ordering that bad boy. He declined to taste it. His loss. Love me some Durian.
