We have a town in Virginia, Kilmarnock, that boasts “that’s the smell of money.” I suppose if it’s money for you maybe it is. When it ain’t money for you it’s a stench.

May not be a bad skill to learn, considering...

Being downwind from a pulp mill on a hot day is no picnic, either.

The Supersizers... is an excellent BBC series primarily focused on culinary history.

In the episode Supersizers Eat: Ancient Rome, they indulge in some garum.

And do not pass on the dried salty minnows that you crumble over the rice and veggies!

Most of today's 'brown' steak sauce is made with fish sauce, notice the anchovies on the ingredients list.

[snip] Titus complained of the tax which Vespasian had imposed on the contents of the City urinals (used by the fullers to clean woollens). Vespasian handed him a coin which had been part of the first day’s proceeds: ‘Does it smell bad, my son?’ he asked. ‘No, Father!’ ‘That’s odd: it comes straight from the urinal!’ [/snip]

In my town, we have our dairies and feed lots for beef cattle. Often city dwellers will move here and then bitch about the smell. Go figure.

In Mike Duncan’s podcast series “The History of Rome” he gives a very detailed explanation of what garum is (and what it is not), how it is made, etc. Was very fascinating.
