They would be better to ban Asafoetida and install a load of wind turbines.

As with lots of things on the internet, the original link is now dead.  I have found it under another link:  https://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/200904/devil.s.dung-the.world.s.smelliest.spice.htm  Perhaps the mods can edit the original post if Dal Puri is no longer active?

It is an interesting read, but while I have a jar of Schwartz powder version, I rarely use it due to the lingering, stench, which seems to last for days and permeates the whole house.
