The Smell of Cooked Lamb

I feel sorry for you, OP. I love the smell of cooking lamb almost as much as I love the taste of it.

yeah, it's pretty disgusting to me too. Haven't eaten lamb in years.

It's horrible!

Yes, and it stays on your clothes as well. I cooked lamb in a small apartment once. The smell didn't leave my coat for over a week. Never again.

Barf.

Dogs are afraid of the smell of cooked lamb. There's some science behind it.

Doesn't smell good to me without garlic, rosemary, lemon, and olive oil.

Hate the smell, while the lamb is cooking, but I LOVE the taste. Lamb is delicious.

Actually, we like the lambs most as they are being led to slaughter.

it's a corpse, it's supposed to smell bad. don't eat corpses and your house will smell amazing.

Well, Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming?

roasting lamb smells OK to me. It's andouillette I can't stomach, smell or taste.

It's the tri-annual lamb thread. I hate lamb, I don't like the smell of lamb, does anyone know anyone else who doesn't like the smell of lamb cooking, do Americans not eat much lamb because it smells gamey?

There was a whole thread about Americans not eating lamb a while back.

Vegetarians like R10 can never give it a rest. Meanwhile genus Homo has been eating the flesh of other animals for millions of years, just as chimps do whenever they get the chance.

OP I think many of us westerners dislike the smell and taste of lamb because it's very different from the flesh we are accustomed to eating. I can eat it, but just barely. Give me beef or pork any day over lamb.

I love lamb, but think it is best grilled. Also, that way if the smell bothers you, you can grill it outside.

It smells like manure to me but I love the taste of grilled lamb.

When I was a kid, we had lamb chops and veal cutlets regularly and income-wise, we were lower middle class. Now I don't even see it for sale in the supermarket.

I love lamb and like to cook it about twice a year as a treat. U.S.. lamb meat varies greatly. I've found that it's worth it to splurge and spend the extra $ on New Zealand lamb, especially for a roast leg. If you're making a lamb curry, you can use the gamey fatty American lamb. NZ lamb is less smelly, too.

I feel that way about broccoli.

R19 = George HW Bush

only in gyros...otherwise it's gross

Smells like wool

Roasting lamb doesn't really smell bad to me. Pan broiling or dry frying a lamb chop can smell, especially if it is fatty.

Well I guess none of you had families who came from southern Italy.

Baccala has to be the most disgusting thing a human has ever eaten.

The smell alone will have on the floor curled up like a fetus weeping for death to come.

It burns it burns

I can't handle it, either - the smell or the taste.

But then I'm a very finicky meat eater.
