What food do you enjoy eating but hate the smell of?
-
Really don’t care for cabbage. My mom always said it smells like pig slop, not that I’ve ever smelled pig slop. But yeah I never liked it and I think that had something to do with it lol.
Personally I love some cabbage and sausage cooked up in a nice fresh chicken broth. But I definitely can see where the smell would be a turn off for a lot of people
-
I’m guessing oyster sauce is another? I suspect it’s one of those magic ingredients that makes restaurant Pad Thai so good, but I’ve been hesitant to buy a bottle of my own.
Could be, but I haven’t tried that one myself.

Yeah why does eggs cooking smell like wet, microwaved dogs?
wet, microwaved dogs
Honestly, that’s not helping me much as a reference point.

Imagine wet dog smell but warmer

Tripe. I can’t stand the smell while menudo is cooking but it’s so damn tasty!

Vinegar is pretty universally hated a scent. Most foods wouldn’t be the same without it.
Gonna need a source on that universal hate.

Personally I love the smell, but whenever I eat Natto everyone in the house is upset.

My wife totally has the soap thing, and I must be a carrier for that gene, because I can see where the soapy flavor is coming from, but it doesn’t bug me.
For the smell/taste thing, I have the opposite. I love the smell of roasting coffee… can’t stand coffee.
Ditto unsmoked tobacco, smells amazing, cannot tolerate smoking.
It’s one of life’s little injustices that coffee never tastes as good as it smells.

Butterfish It is delicious but smells so bad that nobody in my family wants to cook it at their house so we would go to our grandparents’. The aroma lingers for more than a day if you don’t properly aerate the place. Febreeze, candles and other air fresheners do not work.
Bagoóng It is a Filipino condiment made of shrimp paste. There are other variations but still stinky.
Durian disone@lemmy.zip is right about the heavenly durian milkshakes! My siblings and I would eat them outside — we weren’t allowed to bring them inside the house.
There were signs all over my hotel in Thailand prohibiting the consumption of durian on the premises.

LOL, yes! And in buses as well.

Yeah that smells different

Overly ripe papayas.
Always smell like rot. Taste like magic.
I could never eat papaya at any stage of ripeness without a generous squeeze of lime, it’s just so bad.
-
Probably the cheese (depending on the recipe). Parmesan has aroma compounds also found in other less desirable substances.
Yup. Butyric acid, it’s what makes parm and Hershey’s chocolate taste like they do, but its also what makes vomit smell like it does.

Durian smells so bad, but durian milkshake is just heaven
Am I the only weirdo that enjoys the smell, too? I acknowledge that it’s strong and there is a good reason why it’s not allowed indoors in many places, but when it’s outside I dig it.
I just had some in Malaysia last week. So good!
