one of the toughest thing about being vegetarian
in a mixed house is that you can smell rancid grease
and dead animal and fats on pretty much everything.

as a meat eater/cooker you will not smell these
much or at all.

it's disgusting.

for me (when i was primarily eating only vegetables)
if someone cooked meat it would take washing a pan three
or more times to remove the stench.

it takes a while after starting to eat and cook meats
again before this sensitivity wears off.

so if you are moving in the other direction where you
are eating more vegetables and using oils that aren't
animal fat related you could be experiencing some version
of that sensitivity developing.

the only real solution is to eat grass fed and free
range meats and/or cooking meats more often so you don't
develop that sensitivity.
