Eat only UK Plants/ Rationing

I've never used asafoetida but, apparently, the Germans call it Devil's Dung.

An extremely pungent spice extracted from a plant of the giant fennel family, asafoetida is frequently used in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. In fact, asafoetida's strong, garlicky, dung-like smell is quite off-putting (the Germans call it Teufelsdreck – devil's dung!), but if you can overcome the stink, which disappears in the cooking process, the smallest amount of it transforms vegetable dishes, meat stews and fish. https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/asafoetida

That’s very interesting thanks veggie.
It definitely is the most unpleasant smelling spice I’ve come across.
