Yeah haha my parents get so frustrated about this. I would pack my favorite food for lunch at work, open the container and be assaulted by the smell, then be disgusted and either have to force it down or not eat

Yea for me it's the smell of hot cheese even though I love eating it 😭

Yes. This has been a persistent problem for me. Sometimes while eating it the smell makes me nauseous even if I am enjoying the taste.

Same! I feel like if I was to explain this to anyone else they wouldn’t understand but to me and (probably you as well), smell isn’t always equivalent to taste
