This happened today, just a couple hours ago in fact. I was doing my post work scroll through reddit when I came across this wonderful post on r/natureismetal of still alive and decaying salmon, post spawn salmon, when my family called me to dinner.
As I made my way to join my family I came across this wonderful comment https://www.reddit.com/r/natureismetal/comments/kl3fby/xpost_from_rhardcorenature_creek_of_the_living/gh72r4k/ The image the comment projected into my head was a revolting as it was funny. It gave me a chuckle as I entered the room. Of course my family demanded to know what I found so funny....
Now, as a West Coaster, we live in a city near where fish spawn, die, and rot. We’re so famous for it, in fact, there’s a city in our region named after the smell of rotten fish. So to say we’re familiar with the sight and smells of annual decay is in understatement.
As I relayed the story to them, I added a bit of embellishment not knowing what was to come. As my family slowly turned green around me, my mum came out of the kitchen carrying a .... freshly... cooked .... fish.
Oh no.
The result? 3 dishes, the fish especially, all left unfinished. Normally we would’ve polished this off no problems but today, the leftovers are not being saved for the possibility of resurrecting the memories of the smells and sounds are too much to bear.
TL;DR - sharing a fellow Redditor's experience and ruining what was an absolutely delicious meal.
