Description : My friend, years ago, had a box filled with herbs, a foul smell would fill the room when you opened the box, what herbs could these have been?
Last Answer : answer:My guess would be Asafoetida-it is used a lot in middle eastern cooking (giant fennel). Tastes great after you cook it, but it stinks to high heaven before cooked. It is a smell that would go ... Latin, I think, and is the same as the English root for fetid (having a heavily offensive smell).
