So today at work somebody brought food for us and it had a kind of weird smell. When I went to the back to investigate, I said "oh, that's what stinks!" as a joke. One of my managers gave me an offended look and said I didn't have to eat it if I didn't want it. It turns out he made the food himself and I basically told him his food smells like shit.
I was too scared to apologize and I don't go back to work for another few days. Is it even worth it to apologize at this point?

yes

you should, even if you don't mean it, just to not be an asshole at least

I'm somewhat concerned that you think where you went wrong was insulting your manager's food, not insulting someone in general.

What did he mean by this?

Absolutely.
Simple as saying: I am so sorry i made a comment about the smell of your food. The strong scent took me aback and i carelessly hurt your feelings in expressing that. (And if you want to go for the gold) Please let me know next time you cook for us, because i would love to try it.

You insulted someone who was just trying to do a nice gesture.
You seem like you're just worried about you're manager being pissed, not that you were an asshole for no reason.

It does not matter who brought the food to work. The plain fact you would make a potentially hurtful joke about anyone's lunch and how it smells is inappropriate.
