Over lunch the other day we were discussing whether or not to go back for a pudding. One of the dishes was banoffee pie.
I said, "I like toffee but not the smell of it. Cold foods with toffee in are OK but hot foods smell too much."
"What's wrong with the smell?" asked Matt.
"It reminds me of vomit, especially when it's on someone's breath. Like when you're in a car with someone who's eating toffee, it's really strong then. Those hot chocolate drinks with toffee in smell so bad they make me gag," I replied
Matt laughing, "Parmesan smells of sick but I don't think toffees do."
"Yeah, they do when warm. Oh and it's not just Parmesan, most dairy foods smell of puke to some degree. Fromage frais, sweaty Cheddar. Some of those leaky French cheeses reek of used nappies," I commented.
"Oh yeah, some of them are really bad," he agreed.
"Those live bio-yoghurt drinks that are supposed to help compliment your digestive system smell too. Not surprising when you think of what they are for, they're effectively simulated sick. No wonder it's called YAK-ult."
We had the chocolate orange mousse in the end.

sometimes we get these kind of smells but its not that which we are thinking about so,,,,,,
I know what you mean. Parmesan is the worst, but oddly, like to put it on my popcorn and then nuke it again for 50 seconds. It smells horrible, but tastes really good.
To me anyways. My family hates it.
I haven't tried it on popcorn but I can see how it would work.
I usually have ground black pepper on my popcorn.
As you might've guessed, I don't like the toffee coated stuff.
Ground black pepper? I prefer the tri-colored stuff, you don't know what you're missing.
Tri-coloured stuff? Crikey, it sounds like popcorn has become an artform in the US. We only get sweet, salt or toffee unless we make it ourselves.
No, haha I mean tri-colored pepper.
Grated carrots, lemon juice, salt and pepper...really, really good.
