I used to work for a company thwt was next door to a roaster. My office always smelled like roasting coffee, which was fine by me… it was the only part of that job that didn’t stink.

Just Char/Starbucks or all coffee roasters?
I have a lifelong dislike of pancakes to the point of not even tolerating the smell of them cooking. My mother-in-law would always cook pancakes for her husband when they came to visit us. It made me nauseous every morning. For some reason, she cooked them in the tiniest cast iron skillet that I had - it was only one pancake big not even 6". It was a souvenir from Patty Pan’s Porch in Atlanta - they served cornbread it it to each person and gave it to you at the end of the meal. The only thing I used that for was toasting Szechuan peppercorns - there must have been residual oils in it from years of doing that. Made me laugh because Pop didn’t like spicy food - he always said it gave him “an itchy rectum”.
all. not sure why, it all smells burnt to me. How about you?

They geared it to American tastes. I’m all for the beet farmers of western Minnesota making their living; but we just add sugar to everything. Huge cause of our health woes. I didn’t know the sugar was that high in it, though. Damn.
I adore lamb, but I know a slew o’ people who just can’t take the smell of it cooking. I think kidneys stink pretty bad when cooked.
They stink if you boil them, but they are okay if you fry them.
And they won’t stink at all if you just avoid having them around and cooking them. 
(I’m not a fan …)

I’m good. Smelled enough from the neighbors. Don’t get me wrong, I’d eat the kidney pie; but maaan that stink.

Kidneys. Can’t tolerate the smell, but the Big J loves them, so sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
I feel that’s how my wife thinks when I cook lamb. I just love the stuff, though. Gotta do what you gotta do. Hey, I tolerate her candles. Uff! Almost worse than kidney pss stink, IMO.
Many of the people around here that make menudo cook it outside for that very reason.
It does carry a funk to it. I’ll take tripe stink over kidney, though. The first boil of chitlins can be a challenge, also.
