    The smell outside of a really good Italian restaurant kitchen (often experienced if they have a car park round the back) is divine.

    Most things I haven't had to cook myself, but fish 'n' chips will do nicely.

    Traditional Maltese home cooking because it reminds me of my grandmother. Rarely encountered these days except at weekends when walking around village streets. Onions cooking in wine. Garlic frying. The subtle spices sometimes used when stewing octopus or rabbit. Wonderful.

    One of the best things about dividing my time as I do is the variety of seafood. Octopus, cuttlefish, sweet little limpet clams and rizzi in Malta of course. Last week I was on your island... had some amazing crab and queenies. Omnomnom etc.

    Curry. On more that one occasion due to train issues at Waterloo I've ended up getting a tube to Tooting Broadway, gotten side tracked by the aromas wafting everywhere and ended up putting half a stone on before getting a bus to Kingston :)

    Got to concur with most of the replies so far, particularly bacon and vinegar on someone else's fish 'n' chips. I've got to add freshly buttered toast or crumpets. When my Mrs asks me if i want some toast and i say no......then i smell hers and i'm rapidly changing my mind.

    Donner meat as well, lamb and mint sauce, Yorkshire puddings and onion gravy, Saganaki Kefalotyri and, as a man of simple tastes, roast chicken!

    The smell of the fish and chips wafting out from Swanage over a dark sea after a night dive.

    I'm not going argue that bacon isn't awesome, but to me, a few of the greatest cooking smells are:

    - my better half's cooking (she's Bengali and cooks food from Bengal, Kerala and a few other areas of India - note that none of these things are "curry" and put anything with that label to shame )
    - a good steak on a BBQ
    - a roasting lamb with the associated veggies and herbs to add to the smell

    I think my carnivorous biases are coming out. There are certainly many good smelling foods, but a good bit of meat is usually a winner.

    As a vegetarian of 35+ years I concur that bacon is right up there. Pizza is up there too, combines bread and Italian smells.

    If I may amend and allude; "The smell of fish and chips wafting out from Swansea over the sloeblack, slow, black, fishingboat-bobbing sea, after a night drive." Apologies to Harry and DMT.

    All really good,and really close, but not at the very top. The absolute pinnacle has to be bacon on a camp site. Has to have that additional context. Has to.

  37. #37
    It has to be Fish & Chips for me! The smell is incredible.

    Definitely curry for me, I`m a self-confessed addict.

    I too like food, I think most of us do. Back in the distant past I used to go running most days, usually around 5:30. The smell of cooking would emanate from the houses due to kitchen windows being left open. I always noticed this over the first mile, the smell of food made me hungry and the temptation to cut short was a serious distraction. Invariably I never succumbed to the temptation to cut short and stuff my face, I`d continue and do a good few miles, putting the hunger pangs out of mind. Ironically, after completing a run I never felt hungry! After a hard run your stomach doesn`t want food for an hour or so no matter how nice it smells.

    Contrast this with sessions in the gym, or swimming; for reasons I don`t understand I always feel very hungry immediately after doing either!

    The waft of bacon whilst camping is hands down champion.

    But I made a home made Tandoori Chicken the other night and left it to marinade in my fridge for 24 hours and now the fridge smells amazing as did the smell from the oven when I cooked it. You can hardly beat home made curries and spiced dishes either.

    We get a lot of our taste from the smells of food so salivating at certain things is inevitable!

    Funnily cannot stand bacon, worst smell ever. I may be the odd one out but hey ho.

    I'm gonna suggest away from foods and smells of wines, now they can tickle the sensories....

    Most definitely need some bacon and/or liver to go with that. :)
