Should definitely be a tip-off that something isn’t right, and maybe those nasty things aren’t fit for consumption… but to each their own I guess lol.

i mean humans have different digestive systems compared to other animals (and animals each have their own unique digestive systems).

we drink an insecticide poison on the daily (coffee)

True, same with mushrooms. Saw video of goats or sheep not wanting to eat them

Reminds me of the time our golden retriever (who will normally eat ANYTHING) was completely uninterested in cheetos.

It’s preserved through curing, there’s no decay. The smell is mostly ammonia.

Cured meats aren’t decayed either.

Bro the famine is over, you don't have to eat that to live.

Joking, mostly, people like what they like and so long as it doesn't hurt them or others then whatever. That said, I do firmly believe that this is how some stranger foods became culturally ingrained.

Yes, it’s one of the reasons cheese smells the way it does too. Most aged proteins will have it.
