Food aromas that bother you when you cook them that you have to open a window or turn on the exhaust fan

Bacon hands down, at one time loved to eat it but now I don't eat meat. I remember when bacon used to smell good but for some reason it smells funny cooking anymore, in fact it smells god awful.

I also am not a fan of smelling sausage cooking either but can handle it more then bacon...yuck!

I agree with whoever mentioned hazelnut. Oh gawd, that smell is horrible. I also don't like the smell of fish in my house. If we have fish, it must be cooked outside on the grill. I also agree about the smell of browning ground beef. It really stinks, but I can handle it. When I was pregnant, it would make me physically sick. I would have to have my husband brown the meat, while I went outside. I also hate the smell of sauerkraut and broccoli. I recently went to visit my sister and her new SO. They had just had sauerkraut and sausages for dinner, and the entire house reeked. It was all I could do to stay in the house.

I also have a problem with the fumes released from cutting any kind of hot peppers. It's not that I find the smell offensive, but the fumes actually burn my eyes and throat. And if I touch one that has been cut and any of the moisture from inside the pepper gets on my skin, it will burn for hours. I love to eat them after they are cooked, but I can't cut them up. I read somewhere that some people have an extreme sensitivity to them. I guess I'm one of those people.

Now, my husband has an incredibly sensitive sense of smell, and hates to smell anything lingering in our house. He insists that I always have the exhaust fan on, no matter what I'm cooking. Recently, I was just boiling some water, and he came through the kitchen and turned on the exhaust. I instantly turned it off. He gave me a death ray stare and I told him it was just water. There is no smell. The air in our house was so dry, I wanted the steam to stay inside. He begrudgingly let me leave it off.
