Cooking smells

[Dirk]

A friend of mine is a nurse who works with the elderly. She says that Subway smells of leg ulcers.

I knew I'd smelt it somewhere before, just couldn't put my finger on it.

I always disliked the smell of ground beef cooking; always think it smells of an after toilet poop visit. Interestingly and much to my surprize -and never having shared that with my kids or wife -my oldest daughter said the same one day!

I shouldn't have chosen to read this thread while eating my lunch. Tinned mackerel on an onion baguette btw.

The first time I ate at my soon-to-be parents in law, SWMBO's mother honoured my visit with her signature dish: chicken liver with banana and ginger. The smell was a mix of piss and mashed banana. Mega, mega puke!

You win.

There's a micropub we sometimes go into when visiting the folks. I'm not naming names as I don't want to rain on the parade of a small business otherwise doing a good job. The beer is great, good atmosphere. But like most of these places, it's not much bigger than than a front room and they insist on cooking behind the bar without any extraction. Not great - you go out on the lash and come out the first pub stinking like a fried onion.

Parmesan cheese is disgusting: smells like fresh vomit
Cinnamon makes me retch
If anyone's attempted to eat surströmming in Sweden they'll understand:

There is nothing nicer than a big chunky Cinamon and parmesan cheese sandwich. As you read this just try to capture the flavour

Why do other peoples fish and chips smell so delicious when you haven't got any?

What's your address? I'll send you a packet to show you what the result was.

Out cycling this morning, passing a posh café the smell of artisan bacon sandwiches* was wonderous

However, the journey home from work passes a well known burger 'restaurant' (the regal sounding one) and the smell from there is consistently rank and makes you wonder why anyone ever goes in there.

* - that was what the sign said, which shows how posh the café was

Thanks for that.

Northern Dave beat me to it.

On the way home after a long early Sunday am ride and catching the unmistakable aroma of cooking bacon..................................Wonderful.

Well it is if you only have a couple of miles to go, if you are still 20 odd miles from home it's purgatory.

So true

I hate the smell of eggs being fried always have done for whatever reason .........

Be grateful you can smell them at all. I'd love to smell frying eggs, or roses, or honeysuckle, or even sewerage.
