what food makes you want to vomit just from the smell of it?

Question

for me it is brussel sprouts,any kind of fish,liver and steak & kidney pies!!

Answer 1

Liver, most meat in general (especially pork!), chitterlings (aka chittlins).

::EDIT:: Tea & Biscuits...to answer your question, I really WISH it was just a warm meaty smell! It's the most awful thing you've ever smelled in your life! They are sold by the pound in big red buckets. Usually 5 or 10 pounds at a time (if you look carefully in the meat case around the holidays, you'll see them pop up). Any-who, they come in this bucket with some sort of substance that keeps them from dying out. (it's more than water, but I'm not sure what). The cleaning process takes hours and yes, the unlucky souls who are cleaning have to scrape out any pig poo that was left behind. It is a painstaking process b/c not only does it smell bad, but you want to make sure that people don't eat it!! Once cleaned, they are boiled and the big old bucket only yields about three or four servings of it. If you can imagine what animal entrails smell like as they boil...well, multiply that by 100 and you get the idea. Yuck!

Answer 2

I'm ok with most things, although I agree that overcooked green veg is pretty disgusting.

But who said marzipan?? Thats so weird that you don't like that, its one on the nicest and sweet smelling things ever! And garlic, how can anyone not like the smell of garlic?

I didn't know what chitterlings were and was intrigued so I just looked on wikipedia, now I totally understand why people don't like them. It said they have to be rinsed, then picked at by hand to remove fat and fecal matter! urgh, nasty. What do they smell like, is it just a warm simmering meaty smell?

Oh I've just thought of a food smell that makes me feel sick, those baked potato vans in town centres, oh and roasting chickens in the supermarkets. Used to hate thai fish sauce but now I can appreciate it in a weird way.

Answer 3

Ox tail !

I tried to make a home made oxtail soup but during cooking I lifted the lid and felt so Ill I threw the lot away!
I was pregnant at the time don't know if that has any bearing but I have never tried it again!

Answer 4

Cauliflower Cheese. Why Why Why???
I cant understand why anyone whould eat it.
I can clearly remember the last time I was given it and that was 30 years ago. Just the thought of it makes me gag.

Brussels Sprouts though - yum. Especially with a nice steak and kidney pie - perfect!

Answer 5

I can't believe there were 41 other answers before it was mentioned, but I'm with you GC4 - the smell of Macdonalds really makes me boak!

Other fast food outlets are bad, but Macdonalds particular brand of rancid lard for frying hoof-and-horn burgers is the worst.

btw can anyone tell me what are chitterlings?

Answer 6

Unless you've been to Asia, you probably haven't smelt it, but durian fruit is about as bad as it gets. It's supposed to taste great, if you can get past the smell, which I can't. I heard someone say that the experience of eating durian is like eating custard out of a smelly toilet.

Answer 7

Corned Beef

Answer 8

For me it would have to be cabbage and when I go to the market in Shepherd's Bush, London you get these stands that sell something called Falafels (which are a middleastern snack) and they absolutely stink, I just have to get out of the area when I smell them.

Answer 9

Romano Cheese. it is hardened vomit which only releases its scent when grated onto a perfectly good meal which is about to be ruined when the cheese hits it!

Answer 10

Cabbages and Brussell Sprouts. They smell like sweaty feet!
