Cabbage soup
Might sound like a borstal staple, but its cheap, surprisingly tasty and easy to make.

Shred, chop up and boil up a whole cabbage. Add at least enough water to cover vegetable matter, more if required. Then add a couple of ham stock cubes and pepper to taste. Ideally use a hand blender to blitz it into a thermos friendly soup.

Voila, stinky farts and cheap lunches for the week.

Is there any other kind?

Of course
There is the muscular loud farts that don't smell of anything.

There are the long squeaky ones that smell slightly sweet.

There are the ones that smell like dog food.

And there are your horrendous Zyklon B style ones. Usually brewed after lentil soup, sprouts and cabbage. Sometimes you can create the Perfect Storm by eating an unfortunate mix of all three.

For me its spinach. Farts that hang like a fog for hours after the event. Ultimate combo being Sag Aloo, chicken curry and beer. My wife says they smell like eggs and dogshit. Cabbage may not be a good substitute.

Sets my exhaust dump valve to 'stun passing wildlife', onions being a particularly offender.
