Thailand's smelliest food



And the winner is......The Bamboo Shoot Dish. Looks unappetizing and really is revoltingly pungent. It smells like pee so putrid, that you'd think the pee may have flowed out from a rotten kidney, infested with rats' carcasses.
This dish, however, is so relished in Thailand. But one man's meat is another man's poison. This is my ultimate poison. If you are in Thailand and wondering where the foul smell comes from when you are in a food area (or sometimes not), I assure you it's probably the vile smelling bamboo shoot. You can definitely detect it way before you see it. You have been warned.
