What’s Your Favorite Food or Cooking Smells?

[wu7y]

Lamb on the grill is good but I have to say my favorite is a med. rare prime rib roast as it comes out of the oven.

Ground Beef and Onions.

Love good french fries, but hate the smell of those I left behind in my closed car.

Ugh, reminds me of hopping in certain friend’s cars in highschool

I had a buddy leave an anchovy, pineapple and jalapeño pizza in my backseat over a weekend once. Never did get the smell out of that truck.
Of course the open can of catfish bait I left in his for payback caused him to sell his truck….play stupid games win stupid prizes.

That’s a good one! If you really hate someone, remove an electrical outlet and faceplate, drop in some dead shrimp. Replace outlet and faceplate.

Walking into a small Mexican restaurant while they are cooking is pretty darn good to me.

[Panhead John]

Oh yeah, good one!

In no particular order:

bacon
baking bread
garlic sauteing in olive oil
coffee beans roasting
smoked Thanksgiving turkey
pork or beef smoking in apple wood smoke
Mom's pot roast

[rlozinak]

Bacon, Fired onions, Chocolate chip cookies

For me it's hard to beat that homey smell of bread baking. Next would be coffee brewing. Those to me mean all is right in the world and it's comfy happy time.

Honorable mention is when my wife is sauteing something with fresh garlic.

Going against the grain here- I'm not big on the smell of bacon frying, I mean it makes me hungry, but it's too potent for me.

I think I have answered this on another thread, but my favorite food is my mom's fried chicken. There isn't a meal that compares. As for smell, it has to be fajitas. I could be stuffed to the gills when they bring out fajitas, and I think I could eat.
