Smells

Post by Reisheiruhime »

What food smells disgust you and what food smells make you drool?

Vanilla makes me drool and frying meat makes me want to gag. Is odd, what smells can do to one's appetite. :roll:

Quite the opposite,the smell of ham or bacon frying in the morning mixed with the smell of coffee is one of the most wonderful smells I can think of.As far as 'gag' smells,the way my grandmothers house smelled when she was making pickles,relish or this aweful stuff called 'chow chow'.

I hate the smell of honey, Hunny. ;)
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

A couple of times co-workers have brought in fish and microwaved it, and the resulting smell was truly gag worthy. :(

I am not sure how the fish was originally prepared (I know some fishy things such as fish sticks are not bad smelling when microwaved).
Love as thou wilt.

Can't stand the smell of a lot of things...have a very sensitive nose, and it affects me badly. :lol: Cooking fish is definitely one of the things I can't bear the smell of.

Nearly ALL food smells will get me salivating. Can't think of one that I dislike. Even food that I don't particularly like the taste of, I like the cooking smell.

But then again I'm a smoker, so my olfactory senses are probably not as refined as most people's!

I smoke too, but it hasn't noticeably affected my sense of smell. Partly because I'm incapable of exhaling smoke through my nose because...you guessed it...I can't bear the smell.

I hadn't noticed my sense of smell had gone until I gave up smoking for 20 days. It came back then, but most of the world smelled foul, so there was an unexpected bonus there when my willpower gave out!

:lol: People have often remarked on the acuity of my own sense of smell in light of the fact that I smoke. If it's going to get better (worse) when I stop, maybe I shouldn't... ;)

love - smell of fresh fruit

hate - smell of brie and some of the other "ripe" cheeses (even if they end up tasting good); also, the smell of fast food - *ick!*
