I will try any food available.

The only thing that made me almost vomit was Hakarl in Iceland. The fumes along were SO intense. I swallowed it, but imagine chewing on a piece of urine soaked toilet paper that has been sitting around for a few years. 🤢

Tuna

@Theextraordinaryisintheordinary what? Which bushes? What does sperm smell like? So many questions

Porridge

Fresh coriander 🤮🤮
I hate and loathe it so much that I can’t even be next to someone chopping it up without retching.

I don’t like the smell of lamb but like the taste.
I hate the smell cabbage, sprouts and broccoli leave in the house after cooking it.
Years ago at work a colleague always smelled of cooked rashers as she had a fry every morning.
Other people’s egg sandwiches.

I know what you mean! I also can’t eat the flammin hot monster munch as my sister - rightly - once pointed out thry taste like sperm.

Kimchi from the night before in a lift

Coffee on someone's breath. Absolutely vile. Weirdly quite like actual coffee.

Leavesfalling · 03/11/2025 18:11

Boiling vinegar. Like if you make chutney. The smell is awful.

Kidneys cooking - stale urine

TomatoSandwiches · 03/11/2025 18:12

Can't stand pork cooking, bacon is ok but a joint of pork, no.
There's something they use or cook with at the local (5☆) Nepalese restaurant that turns my stomach if I smell it passing but I have no idea what it is and I have had lots of nice meals from there, so maybe I like to eat it but not smell? I don't know.

Green beans being slow cooked in a stew

CherryRipe1 · 03/11/2025 18:44

Cheesy wotsits and things like that, they smell of cheesey feet. Truffles stink of mens urinals and cat pee. Bananas are poopy.

SheAlwaysHasToHaveTheLastWord · 03/11/2025 18:48

Bacon
Sausages
Pork
Lamb
Brussels sprouts

My husband eats those things when we go out, or at home - if I'm not in.
I'm not a vegetarian (I eat chicken and beef, occasionally).

JBJ · 03/11/2025 18:49

Cheese and onion crisps. Can’t stand being near anyone that’s eaten them recently.

Egg mayo sandwiches. Love them to eat, but that initial smell is rank.

TheTortiePuffinNeedsHerBreakfast · 03/11/2025 18:53

Smoked mackerel. Bleurgh!

RaininSummer · 03/11/2025 18:54

Mince beef cooking. Doner kebab.

VanquishGirl · 03/11/2025 18:59

Lamb
Banana
Cinnamon
Stinky Cheese
🤮

EuroTour · 03/11/2025 19:01

Cheese 😂 it all smells disgusting. Also cheese crisps 🤮🤮🤮

luckylavender · 03/11/2025 19:06

Dog food, cat food, fish food, fish

bloodredfeaturewall · 03/11/2025 19:07

bacon

HelloCharming · 03/11/2025 19:09

Really stinky cheese but I love to eat it, the stinkier the better, the kind of cheese that has to be kept in the garage.
truffle…ended up in Croatia at a time of year when truffles were being harvested and it was on everything….
kippers, love to eat them, but only on the day before bin day so every awful stinky bit of leftover skin gets taken away.

Tangerines & clementines - oranges are ok - and no, I have no clue why either.

Same! But oranges too, for me. Particularly when I'm stuck on the train or something.

Those bushes that smell of sperm!

Yes, this! So glad I’m not just imagining it!

Baked beans, tinned peas, ketchup, brown sauce, sandwich spread yuk!
