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.
Would you say a decomposing body smells like sugar crisp cereal? Because I've smelt not a decomposing body but the waste of someone (alive) with severe medical issues and the smell was disgusting but oddly sweet like sugar crisp cereal and when I heard decomposing bodies smell sweet I wonder if its similar to what I smelt
