All women have a smell, often slightly "fishy", but many factors can affect it, including diet. However, an offensive smell can be a sign of an infection, possibly BV (BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS). This is easily cleared up with anti-biotics, and shouldn't cause you any problem. Vaginal odour affects women the world over, so for you to ask whether it's an "english thing" is a bit silly. I have to be honest and say that "willys" are not always the nicest smelling things either...you say you had "mackerel, salmon, and tuna", but I often come accross Edam, Cheddar, and Brie ...
