What foods are you offended by the mere odor of? (frozen, curry)

All seafood- yuck!
I just can't be anywhere near fish cooking.....

Hazelnut coffee. The smell turns my stomach.

Chitterlin' are one of those things that you only eat if you were exposed to as a child. Stink up your house, but are so tasty! (I'll deny saying that in the real world!!!!)

The French love their "tripes à la mode de Caen", and the Italians their "honeycomb tripe with parmesan cheese". The only time I tried sweetbreads was when I had to stuff them during a French cooking class.

Menudo is mostly cow intestines. It's pretty good.

And of course, this is the season for haggis.

Sausage casings, yum.

Even traditional cheese is clabbered with rennet, an enzyme from calf stomachs. As they say in hog slaughtering, "We use everything but the squeal."

Vinegar is like barf to me.

Most fish. It makes me darn near nauseous.

You beat me to it!


*LOL*

Just the odor makes one want to unswallow. Cannot even be in the same kitchen when they are being cooked.

Though not overly offensive, the whiff of kippers. However it can be forgiven because they taste so good!

Cabbage, broccoli, and crab. I love all three.

This may be TMI but the smell of me excreting asparagus the next day is nauseating.

Done correctly, they are. But they must certainly be done correctly, or the consequences could be most painfully distressing.

Alas, I shall never taste another batch of them, for the only two people I trusted to prepare them are now dead, and I would never ask it of my wife.

Chitterlings literally are booty funk being cooked.
