When I was on Peru in 2012, I had this green rice with what I think were red onions. The smell was pretty bad, worse than the taste, which was kind of sour. I was really hungry, so I went to eat it anyway, but the others with me didn't take much of a bite and I can't really blame them. Some of the food I tried in Peru was great, like the Alpaca meat, but that rice had a rather nauseating smell and was an all-around bad experience.
