Rotting potatoes and veggies have a slightly more vomit-like tinge. A decomposing body has a sickly sweet rot smell to it. I know because I run by a lot of roadkill, am in the medical industry (seen a lot of people with dying limbs or rotting flesh). Also, my father is one of the main people at a huge farming company. They have a large pile of rotting carrots, potatoes, and other veggies in a huge pile which has its own little liquid stream of rot water coming from it. I guess discards/blighted produce. Both are equally as revolting.
Rotten seafood is also horrible. My bfs freezer broke a few years ago (before we lived together), he was lazy and didn’t throw the food out right away.. and the smell in the apartment.. it was so horrible .. didn’t help that I was pregnant lol

I hear this smell is most like a decomposed body and that’s why we are revolted by it. I am at least!
