What is the worst smelling food when it is burned?

You know, you scorch it over a high heat in a stainless steel or aluminum pot. My vote is for pinto beans smelling the worst.

It goes on forever.

microwave popcorn ever again (at work). It was horrible.

in my office. It sucks that burnt popcorn straight into my office. I think our resident freeper type takes out her frustrations on me when she loses debates by burning her 'corn. I've asked her to go to the lounge to burn her popcorn these days. Doesn't seem like it should be complicated, but for some reason she can't master the damn microwave, still burning it down there...

eom

You can tell when someone at work burns it - it reaks all over the place, and we're in a fairly large call center!

Steaming over a high heat... and running the pan dry. Stinky.

n/t

:puke:

you can throw it outside and it smells for days. takes forever to get rid of the smell in the house...

I think burned milk (or milk-based sauces or soups) is another foul stench to high heaven. I think the more protein there is, the worse it gets.

Burned milk is horrible, then factor in any veggies, etc. that might have been cooking in it and it really becomes nauseating.

-chef-

Most any type will do.

Try burning milk, I mean real good and burned. You'll never get that smell outa yer brain.

Or boiled warthog?

I tried to disguise my voice a little. Could you tell I was nervous?

I called the show the other night, but my brain was on snooze, so I told Kathy i didn't want to go on if it meant I sounded like Bush.

I couldn't resist the tangent about the hypocrisy in the So Baptist Church, though, but i really wanted to talk about other shit, like the "Draft Ron Paul" movement going on here in District 14. I guess I'll save it for when Malloy wants to chat about 2004.

Do you like Ron Paul? I like his "libertarian" views, but not so much his "Libertarian" ones, if you know what I mean.

I think I know what you mean. I believe he wants to keep govt. out of the business of controlling people's lives, except for a few of his pet issues, like abortion, etc.

There are some things I like about Ron Paul:
1) He was against the Patriot Act;
2) He frequently breaks with the Rethuglican Party on votes;
3) He was against spending the $20B on Iraq;
4) He was loudly oppositional to the cuts in Veterans' benefits, especially this last March when they did it in the middle of the night while our soldiers were at war;
5) His office is prompt in answering my letters and emails;
6) I can't think of a sixth reason just yet. Well, at least he's not a thrice-divorced lecturing moral hypocrite (there's nothing wrong with being divorced, just don't be a hypocrite about morality, etc.).

But I don't like him well enough to vote for him. He crossed over from Libertarian just to get elected. If he were running the whole show, the federal govt would push down most federal spending to the states; I think he'd privatize all education, which means disabled children like my son wouldn't be accepted anywhere; we'd be paying a toll on the roads every few miles because he doesn't think it is the role of govt. to fund anything or tax the citizens.

I think it would be really interesting if he and John McCain were drafted into a Repuke insurgency for their party's nom, or ran also as Independent. Here's a link to the site I found:

Liberties Threatened at Home, Paul Warns
by Ari Armstrong, April 15, 2003

"War is very dangerous for our liberty," Congressman Ron Paul warned during an April 10 talk sponsored by Campus Libertarians at CU, Boulder. Paul explained why he voted against the war resolution, and he expressed concerns about a number of the war's side-effects such as erosions of the Bill of Rights.

Besides the military war in the Middle East, many American politicians are involved in another war on the home front, Paul suggested. "The war against the Constitution is the war against our freedoms." Paul said there's currently a war "against our civil liberties," a war on poverty, and a war on illiteracy. "There's a drug war going on... more people are dying than ever before," he added.

And my hubby has habit of burning rice...
So I know.

A dear friend visited me, and not getting the hang of my top-browning feature on the microwave, nuked his onion bagel for 8 minutes on high power.

It took a good three weeks before the odor was gone.........

but do it outside. Stinks like there is no tomorrow

but never as bad as hair.

potatos,...
As you can tell I'm a phenomonal cook!

Chicken feathers are sickening.

If you have never plucked a chicken, you dip them in very hot water. That makes it easier to pull the feathers out. Doing that is really gross. What a stink. That isn't done everywhere, but that is how we did it when I was a kid.

In Asmara when chicken was prepared, they'd saw the chickens head off with a knife. When I was a kid, we'd use a hatchet. Some people would grab them by the head and swing the chicken around, breaking the bird's neck. I guess that is not as messy.

We would take a basket with us when we killed chickens for dinner. After you cut off their heads, they go crazy, flopping around. What we would do is put the basket over them and sit on the basket until they stop thrashing. The inside would be smeared in blood. So gross.



Appetizing for sure.

We just let the chickens run around spraying blood wherever they wanted.

And you're right - the smell of the chicken dipped in hot water to remove the feathers is a smell that one never forgets. I went ten or more years or so without slaughtering chickens, and when I did it again, at age 27 or so, the smell was EXACTLY what I remembered it to be - and I'm talking, the memory I had that came back to me at age 25, and 24, and 23, whenever I'd think of slaughtering chickens. The smell just doesn't leave one's memory.

or eggs, burn 'em and it smells like, well, rotten eggs

and a non-food item: plastic. Smell never leaves the apartment, even days after the plastic has been burnt. :puke: I guess plastic doesn't belong on the burner. :shrug:

laundry smoke alarm cookbook" will be completed soon and I will let you know. Initially, I will have to agree that it's popcorn.

Take a pot, put some cayenne in it, turn on the heat, keep th lid on, for about two minutes. Then remove the lid and cover your face quicky. Why? It's fucking tear gas! It'll make you cry and cough and you won't be able to breathe...

It reminded me a lot of barbeque sauce.

Well, that is, before it completely enflamed my skin and mucus membranes.

I suppose with both tear gas and barbeque sauce, the major component is pepper....

It smells so bad you have to leave the room.

I kind of like the smell of burned sugar. :silly: I know, I know, what can I say?? LOL.

Used to be a DJ many moons ago, and nothing was more nausea-inducing than coming in for the Sunday 6 a.m. to noon shift and finding that the overnight DJs had let the coffee pot boil dry--one of those glass carafe Bunn models. Stank up the studio for the rest of the day.

too bad.

Random, I know what you mean about cayenne. I cook enchiladas using ground peppers, not tomato sauce. It's a fine line between letting them cook and gassing the neighborhood and having homeland security drop by.

Absolutely nothing smells as bad when burned. The stench is satanic!

A house guest was making chicken stock from the left overs of a chicken dinner. He left it on the stove overnight, all the water evaporated and then it just slow burned. The house required professional attention to remove the odor. I moved into the backyard for a few days (in Wyoming, in the winter).

we have a winner!

When I lived in dallas, one of our bank's foreclosed properties was leased to two people who bacame murder victims in the property. They weren't found for awhile. That took some pros as well.

I had an indian neighbor who would burn his food everyday. He couldn't stand the smell so he open the door so the smoke would get out and enter my apartment! It was a nightmare. I used to like indian food but now I hate it because that one neighbor.

Smell of burnt indian food = :puke:

as in burnt barbacoa.... :puke:

You know, broccolli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, etc...Let 'em boil dry and scorch and you may as well break the lease and move.
Dog shit that you brought inside on the bottom of your shoe doesn't smell as bad....

I hate when I burn it! The whole house smells for days.

Stuff reeks, anyway. Burnt, it's worse than the football stadium bathroom at the start of the 4th quarter.

if you've ever been unlucky enough to have some cooked in your house.

:kick:

EVIL, EVIL SHIT. It takes weeks to get that lingering horrible odor out of the air.

Then again, cabbage that has boiled down and burnt the pot is pretty stanky too.
