I grew up on a family farm so I have smelled a lot of bad things... rotting potatoes are easily in the top three. My sister lost one in her kitchen once and when I found it it was mostly liquid.

Do I have permission to say something disgusting real quick?

Edit: I have gained permission.

My sister lived in my house for a while and moved out while leaving me a nice bag of already-rotten potatoes on top of a nice piece of furniture I have--a black walnut "bar" on casters.

That was 18 months ago and the walnut still smells. I've moved it out to the porch until I can sand it down and refinish it.

Rotten potatoes can get me puking with one good whiff.

Rotting spaghetti is right up there as well. Probably any similar pasta too..
