I was planning on enjoying a small bowl of delicious kimchi, but the wife kicked me out because the smell was making her nauseous. At least it’s nice out on the patio.

Anyone else enjoy a particular food that gets a negative reaction from friends or family? It doesn’t have to be odor-based.

Sardines.

Cod liver (the actual livers, not just the oil), oysters, beef liver, lengua (tongue) tacos, the list goes on!!!

I can eat fish in the house but it has to be cooked outside. Use the grill or side burner depending on what type and how I'm making it.

Shrimp, but she is highly allergic to shellfish. if me cooking and eating outside allows her to avoid anaphylactic shock it works for me.

Chitins - cook (boil) outside and eat outside

Mustard greens or turnip greens - cook them outside but can eat them inside

The smell of salmon being cooked makes me ill. The wife is addicted to it, so when she is planning to grill some, I go to the gun club. That we we both are happy.

Melted raclette.

Humboldt fog.

Probably a half dozen others of that nature. Anything much stronger than cheddar, and the wife is making hurking sounds and running outside.

Egg Nog. I love it, my ex-roommate claims it makes her gag. We're getting into my favorite time of year now...

Soul food collard greens cooking on the kitchen stove.

Durian has this effect on people and it's not even allowed on public transportation in Singapore.



We don't cook anything that each other hates the smell of, but my wife can't stand when I season cast iron. The smell of shortening burning into metal is enough to drive her out of the house.

Can you enlarge the Pic?

Working on a smaller one...

LOL

For some side-splitting entertainment, check out these folks!





My side hurts from watching these two videos.

Had to Google both of those.

I need to get a durian so I can try it.

When I was in Singapore in 2011, my company took us to a restaurant called "Durian Lingers" for our last dinner before I left. I choked down three pods before my mouth literally wouldn't open for a fourth. I ate some and I didn't gag, but my body literally wouldn't cooperate with my mind and I couldn't open my mouth for another bite.







I saw one of the girls in the above video say the same thing. Her body wouldn't let her swallow it!

I had a girlfriend from out in the national forest country near Pittsburgh that said kids were told by the school not to bring Leeks to school and not to ingest them before coming to the school the same day. Kids that did it habitually would be sent home from school for having eaten Leeks because it was so consistently stinky as to be a complete disruption to a class.

I never heard of that before or since.

I couldn't help being reminded of the Little Rascals and 'Limberger cheese'

Surstromming. I don't enjoy it, but some do apparently. No thanks.
