Bf is having our so-called national dish this evening. I sat in the car with it on our way back and as I drove home, I noticed something odd. The smell. Starchy, almost raw potato smell infused with stale, if not almost rancid fat and hot, damp, dirty paper. I never noticed this quite so strongly before.

    YES...both to the smell of foods (and people) and noticing them.

    I'm having and olfactory awakening week I think. One of the blokes at work was having cat food sandwiches the other day - at least that's what they smelled like! It's not like I've never smelt these things before. It's just that they are grossing me out much more than usual.

    I know what your national dish is - hahaha!

    Cooked foods (fried foods especially) turn my stomach when I am being strictly raw. It's a good indication that foods like that are not fit for human consumption. I think cooked fooders may associate those gross smells with the high-calorie gains that they receive from them. Therefore, they come to enjoy the smell of cat food and rancid fatty potatoes. The brain knows it got lots of calories that way before so it tells you it smell is good. Dirty trick, I'd say.

    he ate it again last night and it smelled quite nice! I think they must have had fresh oil in the fryer.
