Subject pretty much says it all. Not talking about spoiled but rather
the smell of some food or the smell of cooking food.

I cant think of any food that actualy smells bad, there are those aromas
that linger that i dont like how they linger but i am not particularly
put off by their aromas, merely that they linger, like fish or bacon
and some sausages.

Even boiled cabbage, which if i streatched a point could be said to
'stink' of flatulance

Bit, IMO, only if you really think about it am deliberatly makeing the
comparison

And a window open even a crack takes care of that little probelm

Chitlins. You can smell them for a mile. Worked on a high rise in Houston,
and I could smell them.

Subject

Limburger smeared on the exhaust manifold of the victim's car as
payback.

The smell NEVER comes out.

You replace the manifold or learn to live with the smell.

I like the smell (and of course, the taste) of durian.

I don't like the smell of Scandinavian lutefisk!

They should have banned that stuff in offices! I worked with a few people
who insisted it was their "lunch" (as if they were doing something healthy
with all that faux butter crapola). It stunk to high heaven even when it
wasn't burnt. Ugh.

Mum loves boiled cabbage with italian dressing as a veggie side dish. I
don't like it, but sometimes she stir fries it in a skillet with some
tomato sauce and pancetta, this way it's edible to me, too

Great Northern beans being cooked for ham and beans. My mother and I
had an arrangment. When she was going to make them, I'd take the
school bus to my buddy's house, where I'd spend the night.

Speaking of popcorn, are you allowed to have it? I'd guess that the hard
little shards of the outer shell might be just as dangerous for you as seeds
are.

Why didn't she use some other less noxious variety of beans? There's
only about 10 different bean varieties.

Oh, and on topic:

1. Broccoli smells like someone farted, even when raw sometimes.
2. Parmesan smells like old gym socks.
3. I've never smelled the legendary Limburger, but...

What they're not good at is following directions. The times given are
a guideline, but the instructions usually read: 'Popcorn is done when
you can count the individual pops.' It's the 'set it and forget it'
folks who burn it all the time.

That stinks just as much as microwaved... it's the over heated oil
that stinks, not the corn. I use my trusty air popper, smells
appetizing and the smell doesn't linger. And about half the time I
drizzle real butter that wasn't over heated, butter barely melted in
the microwave smells luscious.

If they'd just do it at home, no one would care. Instead they
foul the entire office building. At some point I noticed a
NO POPCORN sign on one of the microwaves at work. I
guess the smell would get into other people's food if they used
the machine. I don't know.

Once I worked in a smaller building and someone microwaved
some leftover fish. The stench just about cleared the office.
The person never did that again.

I don't know what you find wrong with that chemical factory explosion
smell...

Another good option is a microwave popper which is basically a bowl with
a loose fitting lid. No oil is used and you can add butter etc if you
like later.

The other nice thing is it does a significantly better job than those
hot air poppers. Ours died and when looking for a replacement I bought
the microwave popper. It does a better job because more of the aromatics
are retained in the popcorn. When you use a microwave popper the room
smells great but you might as well be eating straw.

But you don't need to burn it to get the chemical factory explosion
smell from heating the fake butter.

I have noticed some places that no longer have the individual packets in
the vending machines and you don't seem to smell it nearly as often.
That exploding chemical factory smell from heating the fake butter is
pretty strong and annoying.

The people working at those factories started coming down with
fake-butter-clogged-lung syndrome (okay, I made up the name)

The OP, who really is a clown, wrote "the smell of some food", not just
about cooked food. And I agree, limburger and durian smell awful. I've
never tasted limburger. Just couldn't bring myself to do it. I did taste
durian and it was nice but I could barely get past the stench. It's not
something I'd seek out.

Replying to Bob.... NO, I am not allowed to eat popcorn. I don't eat
popcorn. I think that's what landed me in the hospital in the first place.
My mother insisted on a bowl of popcorn every night. And she insisted we
(John and I) share it with her. So, having gone years without eating
popcorn there I was eating a small bowl of popcorn every night for a few
weeks. Next thing I knew... yikes! Diverticulitis (near peritonitis) with
a drain inserted in my back and a week in the hospital eating broth then
soft food. Thanks for the memories! LOL

I don't even have to think about it: Japanese natto.

This food is definitely under "acquired taste" and is even worse than
starting your day off with grits. A Japanese friend brought me some because
I was so open-minded on what I was willing to try. He felt I would enjoy
this breakfast item. Good Gahd! The smell, from over six feet, was
disturbing. The texture, worse than sea urchin, was something that requires
training; this made it difficult to eat also. But by far the most
off-putting was the taste.

I politely thanked him for providing me my experience, which had him
guffawing for days, but that was my one-and-only attempt at it.

I can't eat popcorn. Or corn on the cob. Can't make corn chowder, either,
dammit! But if I could eat it I'd much prefer regular popped corn to that
fake-O butter stuff. It just stinks no matter what.

I found it burns vigorously if you cook it two minutes longer than suggested
in a 1300 watt microwave. And the smell of the smoke lingers for weeks.

Don't ask.

Sounds like my MIL:

Here have some popcorn.

What do you mean you can't eat corn?

I never knew anyone who couldn't eat corn.

Have just a little.

Well, I've just never heard of that.

Except when I was a kid there was this guy at the end of the block.

He liked to "bother" little kids, so we were told to stay away from him.

My, my, I just can't believe that someone can't eat corn.

You know, God put corn here for us to eat.

And on and on.

The only thing that can get her to stop is if she sees it on Oprah or in the
National Enquirer, then she runs up with the exciting news, and acts as if
she's now an expert on corn.

This happens a lot with a variety of subjects.

Last one was can you use electrical PVC for a sewer line.

Answer is no, but she starts out, well, a pipe is a pipe .............

I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work ................

and on

and on

and on

you get the picture.

I like the smell of lamb.
The mother of a childhood friend of mine used to coo tripe every
Tuesday. It took until Friday before the horrible smell was gone.

Clueless AOL newbie Sheldon "Pussy" Katz leapt into the fray stupidly:

Try READING, Pussy. Here, let me help you:

"THE SMELL OF SOME FOOD"

It doesn't say "cooking" there, does it? You dumb shit.

IMO, it's the odor of cabbage (any cabbage) cooking - whether it be
boiled, steamed, sauteed or whatever... <gag>. But it's not just the odor
that puts me off, it's the taste of it too; I won't even eat it in it's
raw state e.g. in a cole slaw (when it smells of... well, nothing much) so
you can color me biased.

Oh well, each to their own...
