Horse poop.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoHorse manure is pleasant in comparison to any of what a city would have smelled like. I grew up in rural Ontario and the eminent smell of horse manure is a surefire sign that spring has sprung. It smells like home!
- NoOneNew 6y agoI'm going to agree with you to a degree. I used to live a mile or two from an organic sheep farm in Oregon. On overcast days and the wind went my direction, it wasn't that bad. I wouldn't say pleasant. But it was just the strong smell of cut grass with odd components to manure that weren't that bad. However, on a clear, hot summer day and the wind came my direction... no. Add in where it rained a lot the day before... those were the days when I felt like it was time to have a massive lamb and mutton BBQ party to make sure I don't smell it again. Though, still better than smelling your average public toilet. So yea. Somewhat agree.
- Vrondi 6y agoThe horse manure in the streets would have been one of the more pleasant aromas compared to the human feces and urine smells everywhere, the dog urine and feces smells everywhere, the rotting garbage, etc.
- NoOneNew 6y agoI'm laughing and terrified of the fact we are all talking about what shit on the street is better smelling. I'm still going to ultimately defer to none as default before picking and choosing. And yes, I can foresee horse shit as being the preferred out of everything else... which again... terrifying.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoI'll have to defer that one to you, for sure. I've been back in Toronto for about ten years now so my view of the countryside I grew up in is definitely through some rose-coloured lenses. (I'm graciously moving somewhere smaller, but not quite back where I grew up soon and am deeply looking forward to it—smells and all)
