Smelly Trunk Mystery - Solved!

I just couldn't take that smelly trunk of mine a minute longer. When I got in the car yesterday I thought I'd toss my cookies!
I opened that foul smelling hole and took out the mat and the padding under the mat and threw them on the driveway.  Immediately, my driveway smelled.  With my superior intelligence, I knew I was on to something!
I washed all the bare metal inside my trunk, took that tiny spare tire out and washed it, washed the black plastic thing that covered the tire and let it all air out.
The mat and pad, and even the cargo net are about to be super washed with Tide and a generous amount of Clorox.  The Laundromat will never know what hit them!
The mystery?  I remembered that not that long ago my grandson Mac was sick, and his parents were out of town. Who will feed this sickly 21 year old boy?  He requested Chicken Parikash to make him well.  (Most) of his food wishes are my command.  I not only made him Chicken Paprikash, I made him a pot of homemade soup and took it over to him.  I remember both spilled in my trunk.  It took a while for it to start smelling, but when it did start...oh my!
I do believe I'm on my way to a nice smelling car once again.
Bottom line?  This is all Mac's fault.  Next time he's getting a grilled cheese sandwich.

I never heard of Chicken Parikash and now I'm not sure I want to try it. lol

I'm glad you got that all figured out. LOL.. I bet Mac will get Chicken Parikash again if he is sick and asks for it. Grandmas don't have any will power if a grandchild asks for something. LOL

Glad you solved it!
For us, it was a 10 pound bag of potatoes that had been frozen in the trunk and then thawed one early warm spring day. I will NEVER forget that smell.
