I am not sure how to word this exactly, but do you enjoy the smell or taste of food more? I know this seems like a silly question since food is generally considered all about taste.
For me the smell of cooking or baking food sometimes smells as good or better than the taste. Basically, I love the smells as much as tasting the food. Do any of you feel this way too?
For example, for me.. baking bread makes my house smell good and the bread itself is good to eat, but the smell is sooo much better!
Also, cooking food in my crock pot/slow cooker makes my house smell good for hours before eating and the smell is so wonderful! The end result when I eat is great too, but the smell... mmmm
It's weird but I think I enjoy the smell of food more than the taste. Is that weird?
This may be a circular answer but I prefer the taste because that's what motivates me the most to cook
Also sometimes my allergies get bad and I can't smell as well as a result
Taste for me. There are some foods that stink, but they taste good. And I don't care how good something smells, if it tastes bad I'm not interested in having it around.
my first instinct would be to say "taste" because I love yummy food. But I suppose sometimes there are foods with stuff I don't like (like onions) that could still smell good.
To be honest, I really love the smell of food. Like obviously I like eating as well but like,,, have you ever just smelled pastries and bread and sweets? I don't even want to eat them half the time, but I wish I could live around their delicious smell perpetually. I make bread with my mam occasionally just for the smell, I don't even like the way ours tastes lol
But it does also depend on what it is. Like as I said, bread/pastries/sweets I do prefer to just smell (though I do like the tastes), but you bet if I smell a honey roasted ham I'm in there like a shot and wolfing it down before I have a chance to smell it.
I wouldn't eat a food I didn't think smelled nice, even if others like it because it feels wrong to me lol. I care way more about smell than texture, so that's probably why idk
So yeah, I don't think it's weird to enjoy the smell more than the taste, to answer your question. Especially considering most of how we taste is through smell, iirc (if I remember correctly) and am not completely off my rocker?
You are correct! It's why many of us growing up were eating something we thought was disgusting (for me it was peas) and our parents said "hold your nose and it won't taste so bad".
Sooooooo. I have the nose of a canine!!!! lol, my dr calls it my super power. My favorite smells are some of my favorite things to eat, BUT if I could just bottle up some of those smells and make them into a candle, I would probably burn them all day long so I’m gonna have to go with smell for sure. Now granted there are some things that I love to eat but hate the smell of like broccoli. I love broccoli. I ridiculously love broccoli but I hate the smell of it. My favorite smell is boiled crawfish. It’s also one of my most favorite things to eat as well. And I love the smell of citrus almost anything. Don’t even get me started on garlic bread. Unfortunately, when I am about to get a migraine, smells intensify even more and things that normally smell absolutely fantastic to me and will turn around and be too overwhelming.
It depends on what kind of food it is? Though usually if I can't stand the smell, I won't eat it. ...With the exception of cheese, which usually smells weird if I attempt to check due to what cheese is lol
