I'll agree with the Liver and Onions. Calves liver that is. Most vile thing - my mother used to cook it and it made me want to barf just from the cooking odor. Down here in the south though, we eat pig's liver mixed with cornmeal (called Livermush), and I actually love it! Go figure.
I grew up in Maryland, near the Chesapeake bay. Ever smell picked crab shells after a crab feast that have been rotting and baking in the sun for awhile? Foul.
EEEEEEEW. The smell of lobster or crab cooking--or anything to do with it. Cooking, rotting, it goes back to childhood.
Papaitan: A Filipino dish made of innards and bile. If you make this dish in your house, it will smell a hundred times worse than kidneys simmering away.
Takuan (Japanese pickled daikon radish): it smells like a fart that lingers forever.
Microwave butter popcorn: NOT allowed in my house.
Durian.
They are not allowed into the better hotels in Asia.
Agree with durian. My first experience was walking down a street in Singapore and thought a sewer line had broken. My girlfriend (now wife of 27 years ) pointed to a cart full of durians. I tried it, but could only eat so much before the stench got to me. I tried it at the urging of my gf. The things we do for love....

And I agree with the OP about egg salad, even though I love the taste (unlike the other things I mentioned). My old roommate used to make egg salad sometimes, and the first time I walked in on her cooking it, I yelled out "are the dogs farting, or is it you?!"
You people are something else lol. I can't even begin to fathom how the scent of most of these food items could bother someone. I'm surprised no one has said "chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven".
Off the top of my head, the only thing that bothers me is the smell of cooking oil. That's normal, though.
Egg Salad Sandwich (really anything with the words "egg" and "salad" in them). I LOATHE THEIR SMELL! I cannot help almost vomiting when in the presence of anyone making them. Does anyone else have this vehement reaction to egg salad or any other kind of food?
Hard boiled eggs, who'd of thought it'd smell like someone ripped a juicy one in your kitchen.
My very Virginian father absolutely loved fish (shad) roe for breakfast during my adolescence. Ugh, that horrible odor still makes me almost sick to recall! One thing I clearly failed to inherit from him was his taste for fish roe.
Don't ask me how he cooked it - I stayed as far away as possible from the kitchen when that odor wafted up the stairs to my bedroom!.

Oh! Thanks so much for reminding me!
My late mom used to make a Eastern European shad roe, ikra. (could have been carp, I don't remember) that was to die for. I loved that stuff. Bright orange, oily and full of shallots, that we spread on fresh rye bread.
I just tried looking for a recipe online but couldn't find it. It was SO good.
If anyone is familiar with it and can help, that would be great.
What a blast from the past!
I miss it.
