What are your least favourite cooking smells?

[OneUmberJoker]

Salmon

Another for lamb

Curry. I can’t eat spicy food and the smell gets in everything!

Fried haggis & black pudding. 🤮

Christmas dinner

oops thought it was most favourite!

Eggs, especially if they ever burn.

Lambs tongues and ox cheek being boiled up for the dogs. I can still smell it 50/60 years on.

Cabbage, I won't have it in the house! I don't like the smell of cauliflower either and lamb always smells so greasy. Boak!

Prawns.

Fish fingers.....for some unknown reason the smell lingers all day 🤢🤭

Gammon or boiled ham. I can’t be in the house with that smell. Not keen on the smell of fish sauce, although I like the taste of it. Kidney smells grim, though it’s not something I come across much these days.

I’d forgotten about that, haven’t smelled it since I left home in 1988, my mum and brother loved, I thought it was absolutely disgusting, like really bad sweaty feet!

Boiled over milk burnt onto the hob.

Any & all 'meat' 🤮

Roast chicken 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Fish, lamb, anything in sunflower oil

Most fish, but in particular fish pie. Had to make an excuse and walk out of SIL's house once when I'd popped in for coffee as I just couldn't cope with the smell of the fish pie she was cooking. It honestly makes me heave, and obviously I can't even think about eating it. As for tinned tuna, oh God I simply cannot bear the smell.

I like cabbage, but the smell is rank. It's nothing compared to fish pie though <shudder>

Same! Smells fatty and greasy...

I like most cooking smells, I just don't want to smell them the next day. Offal is diabolical though. Is that why cooking mince smells different to say, a sirloin steak?

Its so confusing when something smells disgusting yet tastes delicious, like washed rind cheese.

Tripe. Awful smell.

Everything my former downstairs neighbour used to cook. She was also very partial to stovetop popcorn than stunk up the entire building.

Fried bread

Any type of fish or seafood.

Cinnamon.

Red cabbage - it goes through a phase of smelling like wet laundry that's been left in the drum - really sour and rank. Then after about two hours it sweetens and smells fine.

Not cooking but sardines. I used to meet clients in my home and had to tell Dh to stop eating sardines for lunch before a meeting as it made the whole house smell so unwelcoming.

Lamb for me as well. It's weird, because I love to eat it.
