smoggie · 15/02/2007 22:23

it does, and one of our new cupboards in our kitchen smells distinctly of it - of course it is now lovingly referred to as the 'gis' cupboard by dh

ANYONES rice pudding is better than that. Even Neil out of the Young Ones

those ambrosia cows have a lot to asnwer for!!

smoggie · 15/02/2007 22:31

quadrophenia - I'd noticed the pollen smell too, tends to be in v grassy riverbanks/woods etc. Eughh

lulumama - unfortunately it's in the cupboard with the glasses so is opened quite often...needless to say our quaint nickname is never used in public!! I dread to think what some apprentice joiner was potentially up to whist making it. God, please no, make it a sheer coincidence and it's just the natural aroma of the wood.

expatinscotland · 15/02/2007 22:32

I knew a bloke who drank a lot of coffee.

And in one drunken moment, his girlfriend told me that he tasted like coffee.

All of him.

I nearly boaked my chai tea!

BuffysMum · 15/02/2007 22:33

mmmmm it smells of semen????????

bellarosa · 15/02/2007 22:33

donnie · 15/02/2007 22:33

my dh eats loads of rice pudding - that explains it!!!!

thanks goodness it's clear to me now.

chocolatekimmy · 15/02/2007 22:34
