    I don’t know if it has that effect normally or you mean it would be laced, but they probably wouldn’t eat a strong-smelling food in the first place. (Speaking for myself though, I sure would try as long as I know what it is.)

      I have no experience with Hakarl or Lutefisk, but from what I’ve heard about Lutefisk, they wouldn’t have to eat it. Just opening the can in their presence would send a message.

        I probably wouldn’t have tried durian or nattou if I didn’t know what they were, but maybe I’ll notice some exception some day. (I might have still tried haggis since I don’t recall it having any smell to it, but I wouldn’t feel better not knowing what it was.)

          Haggis doesn’t really have a strong smell, tastes good though (btw, if you ate it in the US, it probably didn’t have sheep lung in it because it’s banned over there)

            I hope to try haggis someday - at a camp out one of the other Dad’s had all the kids making something he called similar to haggis, and it was really good. The only problem is we let the kids try first so we were running out of organs by the time adults got to try some - I did not like the ones that were mostly liver

            TIL. I’ve bought freeze dried lamb lung for my pups (they love it), but didn’t realize lung is banned for human consumption in the USA.

            I had it here in Canada, decades ago. My memories are vague but I remember thinking it wasn’t bad at all. (Probably no lung, but there was definitely stomach.)
