What food smell do you hate?

I just tried a green guava given to me by a co-worker who was sharing from her backyard tree.
This fruit had the most powerful stink. Smelled like body odor.
I had never tried a guava except as a juice so I wanted to give it a go. The odor was beyond off-putting.
The guava was placed inside two plastic baggies just to keep the smell out of the kitchen until I was ready to try it. I took it outside to eat. Took two bites and threw the rest of it away. Too weird for me.

Thank you for your advice...and humor!

What is the best mail order fruit cake?

I'm uneducated when it comes to fruitcake - not a family tradition. So many jokes about them but I'd like to try a mail order fruitcake this year. Traditional or non-traditional but maybe without raisins and pineapple. Any suggestion for mail order? Also, do you have a favorite recipe?
