*Gag* definitely NOT bacon. The smells of bacon and buttered popcorn make me nauseous.
I'm going to go with brownies. I've been baking yeast coffee cakes for friends and neighbors lately, and that's another pleasant smell to fill up my kitchen.
1) Streusel (its the cinnamon and sweet spices mixed with light almandine essence)
2) Nutroll
3) Strudel
4) Apple or Peach pie
5) Bread (just about any type fresh yeast risen dough - yum)
6) Frying ham
7) BBQ ribs
8) Charcoal grilled Salmon
9) Beef stew (sirloin tips after simmering with onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots etc... for about 4 hours)
10) Roasting pecans
11) Carmelized butter (especially on oven baked already boiled potato chunks)
12) Fresh homemade donuts especially a cinnamon roll
No surprises, at least 9/10 of the replies involve garlic.
I'm in the minority who are absolutely disgusted by garlic and don't feel well immediately after eating it. So I avoid it, but this is impossible in small amounts since even chicken nuggets have garlic powder in them. I end up going too heavy on red or black pepper just to overpower the garlic (even if there's a slight amount I still notice it).
The entire "the more garlic the better, no such thing as too much garlic" has really made everything taste the same (not to mention leads to lazy cooking), and I don't even go out to eat anymore, because all I'm doing is looking at the menu seeing what has the least garlic.
The difference between regular mashed potatoes and garlic mashed potatoes? The regular mashed potatoes have only slightly less garlic in them.
It's just such indoctrination has taken over America, I remember being a kid in the 90s and the garlic fascination wasn't nearly what it is today. There need to be some garlic-free options, the same way there's gluten-free. Before, only certain types of foods were garlic-heavy, now it's almost everything. It can be complicating as well, imagine you're at a wedding and the salad dressing has garlic in it, the main course is a steak with chopped garlic and garlic butter for the garlic bread.
It's just really overdone... I can't be the only person who thinks so. At least I hope not.

LOL - I like what tastes good to me, not what is "fashionable." I happen to love garlic - LOTS of garlic. I find it offensive that someone would attribute my taste for garlic as a fashionable trend or "indoctrination."
Who would benefit from "indoctrinating" folks with a simple palate, like you imply I have, that more garlic is better? Damn the torpedoes - give me garlic, give me onions, give me flavor!
