By the way all the vietnamese butchers I have been in many suburbs smell

I went into a downtown asian(Chinese?)grocer once. It stunk so much that I turned around and walked out. Never been there since.

Stunk of what? I find them redolent of dried seafood and fermented products
of various kinds. Definitely a funk, but I'm not afraid of the unfamiliar.

Health food stores also have a distinctive odor profile. Everything
from the People's Food Co-op to Whole Foods has it.

It had a very strong meat odour.

My local health food store has a distinctive odour which I like.

Fair enough. That's always disturbing. The biggest Asian
grocery hereabouts also smells of the tanks of live tilapia.

Meat from a male pig that wasn't castrated tastes and smells vile.

Many larger Muslim shops in the UK have a butcher's counter selling halal
meat. Nearly all such shops I've visited reek strongly of badly kept
meat. Not recommended.

The smell keeps the gweilo out of the joints. A lot of these places are no places for folks with weak stomachs. OTOH, I have heard rumors that some people cannot stand the smell of Subway sandwich joints. They are slaves to their noses. OTOH I have, on numerous occasions, lost my sense of smell/taste. That has its pluses and minuses.

Halal meaning that the animals were slaughtered in the most painful
way, because Allah likes it that way? And that the slaughterer's ass
was facing the US?

That's different than how you always have your
nose buried in the USA's collective ass.

Serious question.....how long before slaughter can they be castrated and
get rid of the junk funk?

Boars of many different animals are strong tasting.
