I Can't Stand the Smell of These Foods
Sometimes I'll make certain foods, like cupcakes for example, because I want my house to smell like that. It's just yummy and cozy. I have a sensitive nose so I always tend to smell things that nobody else does. I don't mind it when it's a delicious-smelling food like cake or homemade marinara sauce (I love that smell) but when it's something that I don't like...the alarms in my nose go off. Here's a list of food that I hate the smell of.
Bacon: Eep! If my mom cooks bacon and I happen to be sleeping, it wakes me up. The smell travels to the second floor of my house through my closed door and under my blankets into my poor nose. Don't get me wrong, I like bacon (only with my eggs) but I cannot stand the smell. If its cooked at home, the smell lingers all day and stays on my clothes. Yuck.
Tuna Fish: Tuna fish is probably on the list of one of my most-hated foods. The funny thing is I love spicy tuna aka raw but tuna cooked seems to turn my stomach. I always hated when kids at school would whip out a tuna fish sandwich in the cafeteria. I'm much more of a chicken salad lover.
Burnt Popcorn: Ugh sigh. I love love love popcorn, but there's definitely nothing worse than the smell when its burnt. Talk about lingering smells...my kitchen smells for hours after I burn popcorn, which normally happens when I get sidetracked and leave it in the microwave for too long.
Fennel: This is a really random one. When I was little, I used to eat fennel like it was my job. Now, I can't even go near it. The smell alone makes my face scrunch up...let alone eating it. I guess I ate too much when I was little. It's weird how your taste buds change so much through the years!
Ham: Ham also makes my list of most-hated foods. I have never liked it and I never will. The smell is revolting to me for some reason and the taste is worse. I can't even describe the smell, but it just grosses me out. Thank god no one in my family really ever eats ham or else I'd be in trouble.
However, there is a long list of food smells I love like garlic, baked goods, Italian food, onions, strawberries, wine, etc. I'm sure everyone has their own list of food smells they hate and love.
What food smells do you hate?

I cannot stand the smell of popcorn or menudo... and quite a few korean dishes.
I can't believe you don't like the smell of bacon! It's funny, because
I made bacon this weekend and my husband couldn't stop talking about how much he loved the smell of bacon!I can't stand the smell of baked beans!
I really can't stand the smell of raw fish and tuna
Parmesian.
Sauerkraut. Blech.
I hate the smell of raw fish. As in I can't go near the fish section of my supermarket because I will retch. Papaya stinks to me. I like the taste but not the smell of bacon.
I can't eat food that smells horrible. I actually like the smell of bacon and ham (only if it's fresh). I hate the smell of blue cheese, durian, parmesean cheese, raw fish, and burnt food.
Burnt popcorn, sauerkraut, tuna.... fine.
But bacon?!!??!!?!! I LOVE bacon & everything about it. The taste & smell... aaamaazzzing.
My roommate hates the smell of bacon, so I always feel too bad to make it while she's home. That's probably good for my health though, since the result is I only make/eat bacon once every couple of months w hen she's out of town!
I don't know what food smells I dislike...I think I like most food smells. Even stinky tofu, which honestly just smells like poop somehow doesn't smell as bad to me once I know what it is (psychological mindtricks at work!).
Everyone in my house loves Durian, but I swear I hate the smell with a passion.
I love the smell of bacon!
Fennel grosses me out, but its more the taste of the seeds and sprouts than the smell. I never buy fennel or cook with it because its so offensive to my taste buds. I had roasted fennel bulb as a side dish with rabbit at a restaurant a few months ago and it was ok, but if I happen to bite into a seed or eat a fennel sprout...yuck. I avoid most sausage because of the fennel seeds as well. I also hate the smell of cumin with a passion, and the taste as well. Ew ew ew cumin.
I love the smell of fresh basil...sometimes when I buy a bouquet of it at the supermarket I just walk around sniffing it like a weirdo. Also, and this might seem odd, I LOVE the smell of sesame oil.
@malissa1578@xanga - Menudo smells so disgusting as it cooks, but is so delicious!
@Mrs_FoodLover@xanga - You know I will always try everything once before I say I don't like it and its not that I don't like menudo, but it is a little hard to get past one of the ingredients lol. My ex-mother-in-law use to make it all the time.......................
Ham (or pork in general) isn't too great for you
Stinky Tofu. It literally smells like poop.
@malissa1578@xanga - OMG, I know right. I grew up eating it as a kid, and didn't think twice what it was. Now that I'm older, and I actually cook it myself, I wonder how in the hell did I even begin to like it.
Props for that t-shirt. XD ANCHOVIES.
My mom used to fry anchovies, and I could literally smell them from my room (second floor). Not a fan of sauteed onions (even though I love eating them), seafood, and cooked eggs. Also there are some types of kimchi my mom has that I can't stand (hate to admit that I'm half Korean, and I should be used to it, but I'm not sadly).
durian! i used to eat it as a kid and i actually enjoyed it as a kid but one day i was forced to eat an assload of it to the point where i got sick of it and every time i see or smell it i get sick to my stomach and throw up literally.. it's too bad also because my parents and relatives enjoy that shit.. and the stench stays in the house for weeks!
and also anything that's fermented i can't stand the smell of..
ewww i hate tuna, ahhgggg!!! and just the smell of fish in general. if i eat fish, it MUST be fresh!!!
i also hate the smell and taste of mashed potatoes... and green beans... and mustard, gross.
raw chicken . . . barf. the smell and the texture both gross me out. that's prolly why i cook it so rarely.
Stir fried mushrooms or lentil soup. Makes me want to vomit.
I hate the smell of hard boiled eggs.... they taste okay but anything cooked with them smells gross. I also don't like the smell of hot dogs. That really makes me sick. Bacon and ham smell good though.
I agree with everything...except bacon!!!! I don't eat it often but it is a food weakness of mine. I love tuna and fish in general just not crazy about the smells. Absolutely hate the smell of burnt popcorn.
