I noticed a kitchen stink two days ago and thought mabye something died.
I've had mice die in the walls before.
I replaced the lava stones on the BBQ but that wasn't it.
Today it was really bad after a night of no air-conditioning.
I opened the pantry and there, in one of the bottom sliding drawers, was
a plastic sack of yukon gold potatoes sitting in a pool of potato
liquid. YUUUUUUCKK!!!!! I almost puked. The stench coated me like slime!
[shudder]
I forgot all about them. They were probably a month old!
With surgical gloves on, I wiped out the liquid, disinfected it with
wipes and lysol and put the drawer on the porch to dry. I sealed up the
potatoes and took them to the trash shed.
After a shower and half a bar of soap later, I feel better.
Andy
No appetite left for today.

This reminds me of a joke (based on a true story) :
Entered into a Home Depot suggestion box :
I'd like to suggest a new entry for the Employee Manual at Home Depot
(a large USA hardware store).
1. If a customer comes to the checkout area toting a toilet auger, a
pair of knee-high rubber boots, a mop, two gallons of bleach,
elbow-length
neoprene rubber gloves, a scoop shovel, and a gallon of
industrial-strength
deodorizer, it is not neccesary to ask him or her, "So, how are you
doing
today?" Nobody really wants to know.
2. After said customer tenders cash for his/her purchase, please use
an
antibacterial hand sanitizer.
OBfood : rotten potatoes really do stink. I have a (not rotten) potato
recipe, but after that joke and the original story, I'm not sure anyone
would be interested.
Dean G.
Hey ! You said your appetite was gone already.

Dean G.,
:D
I have to look on the bright side. It wasn't a dead mouse in the wall.
That stench lasts for a month!!!
I put the Caution in the subject line so folks could choose to skip it
before sitting down for a meal.
All the best,

Oh, gawd, that is Horrible. Once we had a fruit fly infestation
that didn't want to quit. Relentless. Tracked down the source,
finally ... a bag of melted potatoes, what a FRIGGIN stench,
and all liquid, too. Still gives me the willies to think about it.

I can't keep potatoes in my kitchen in the summer. We have a small
apartment, and the kitchen is also small, with no real ventilation
except for the fan over the stove. Potataoes+humidity=slime and stink.
'Rotten potato' is one of the worst smells *EVER*, IMO.

Oh, you have not smelled a kitchen when a freezer *full* of various
and unknown fish quit during an away trip during the summer. I was
storing a bunch of frozen seafood for a Chinese friend (don't
remember why, it was a long time ago) and the refrigerator konked out.
O..M...G... Fortunately I was renting, it wasn't my refrigerator,
and the landlord (who lived downstairs) had to clean it up. I
couldn't have done it.
Come to think about it, that was a bottom freezer. I don't know why
people are crazy about them. It didn't impress me either way.

No doubtr about it, rotten potatoes smell horrid.
The worst smell ever in my book though was this:
Susie, a cat we had many years ago, had (unbeknownst at first to us) started
spraying. One of the first places she sprayed was the burner on our
electric stove. Unaware this had happened, I turned the stove on. Two
minutres later we were in the parking lot of the apartment building
wondering if we needed to call the paramedics.

nancy,
I never saw potato liquid like that before. I've stored baking potatoes
before and they've just grown roots out of their eyes. (Another pretty
thought?)
Good grief,

THANK YOU for the reminder, Andy. I just checked our bag of spuds, and
they weren't disgusting yet, but there was moisture forming on the bottom
of the bag. I just tossed them out. I'm not going to cook potatoes in
this heat, anyway.

Roots beat liquid any day! I had some squash turn to liquid once in the
compartment in the fridge... I completely forgot they were there. They
didn't stink but man was it a pain to clean up (they were in the plastic
bag, thank god).

Whenever I start smelling something rank in my kitchen, the first thing I
check is the pantry where I have two stacked bins, one for potatoes and one
for onions. Rotten onions are almost as bad as rotten potatoes.

I found rotten potatoes AND onions in a carpeted bedroom closet after a
renter moved out on bad terms. That room (in a previous house) is tiled
now.

The one time we had a fruit fly infestation, it was a spoiled grapefruit
that had rolled into an out of the way place. ;-)
Not stinky per se', but it was nearly liquified with fruit fly maggots!

You mean those "WOPS" you keep talking bad about? Make up your mind... do
they cook good food or do they use rotten potatoes to make gnocchi?

Vodka, traditionally. The potatoes themselves aren't fermented,
but rather a liquid made from the potato starch is fermented and
then distilled. Vodka can be made from other things that potatoes,
though.

RAW hamburger, destined for the freezer, but took a dive. Can't you smell it
from there?

Yahbut, she can't seem to catch one and, believe me, we've tried.
We've hatched one elaborate scheme after another, and have come up
mountie-less. We make do by watching repeats of "Due South." <sniff!>

I got my undergrad in chemistry and there were a small cadre of us who
actually made some really, really bad vodka my junior year. It's a
wonder we all survived the experiment.

Felice,
Ewwwws [holding nose].
But seriously, how does one LOSE a hamburger?!! Don't you follow the
strict hamburger accounting practices developed here at rfc back in the
'50s?

One probably perched a stack on the counter and accidentally knocked a lone
burger off (and down). Guess I skipped class the day the accounting
practices were promulgated!

That should read "trap," not "trip." Duh.

After my brother in law died his family had offered us the use of the cottage
he had lived in. We had some visitors for the prairies and decided one morning
to go up and spend a few days at the cottage so that our friends could
experience cottage country. When we arrived the place was pretty hot inside
and there was a stench coming from the kitchen. It seems that one of my
nephews had been up on the weekend and had defrosted the freezer. He had put
everything back into the freezer but forgot to turn it on again.
Luckily, it had only been 3-4 days. Everything perishable had to be thrown
out, but it's a good thing that we had arrived when he did. Otherwise, that
rotten meat would have been so ripe that we would have never got it clean
enough to use again.

No, no, my girl - we just need to tweak our old model a bit. A Mountie
blind,as it were. Our old model had some serious rump wagging, IIRC,
and come hither techniques. What the *modern* Mountie blind requires
is Stealth technology. We go into Stealth mode...and grab 'em!
So, when's the Mountie Roundup this year <blink! blink! blink!>

Well, that old model wasn't my design - someone named Damsel or Barb
got involved and added the derriere bit.
The Stealth mode appeals to me, though. Invisible is good. The
Mountie Roundup hasn't been scheduled - I have a new boss and have to
stick close to home for a while. ;-)

I once bought a frozen turkey, intending to put it in the freezer when I
got home. It rolled out of the bag and hid under the seat of my minivan.
I forgot that I bought the turkey, parked the car in the driveway, full
sun, for over a week.
I almost keeled over from the stench when I finally opened the van door.
Luckily, all of the "juice" was contained in the plastic wrappings and
bags.

I worked for a lawyer who had the same thing happen with a package of
lamb chops. Somehow, I think the lamb would smell worse than the
turkey. LOL.

My brother had a similar thing happen with a jar of kimchee.
Unfortunately, the pressure of continued fermentation did cause the
jar to leak.
Still, I think the turkey/lamb would be worse. At least kimchee is
supposed to smell rotten ;>

Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

Ugh. A number of years back I'd made crab dip for the office
Christmas pot luck ... Well, I put the leftovers on the plate right
into a plastic bag to transport home. Into the trunk Ran some
errands, blah blah blah, forgot *all* about it. My car started
smelling less and less ... fresh ... as weeks went by.
When I found the cause, I threw out the bag, plate and all. Didn't
even dare open it.
