I agree on the Ribes, but I do like the flowers hence mine is at the bottom of the garden. Apart from the obvious bad smells (manure, BO, burning rubber, paint, bad breath, cheesey feet, bottom burps, etc) I can't think of any odours that I hate - Jeyes fluid perhaps  When others post, I'll probably think 'ooooh yes, I don't care for that either'  |

Well my main ones are Almond oil and Gin. This is simply because the smell of one and an excess of the other have made me sick in the past. I haven't drunk Gin for 34 years!!

Archers Peach Schnapps and Gin because I've been rather poorly <ahem> after consuming them. Also, those bacon bits you can buy to sprinkle on salads etc bu only because of the gin incident...
I'm not keen on the smell of red bull. Geranium essential oil I find rather sickly and I'm not keen on lemon eucalyptus oil either.

Airports = there are such dreadful smells all around these places The smell of the fuel is so sickly I cant tell you my reasons other than to say it involved an incident on a very small 'plane flying to Campbell River (Vancouver Island) which had been preceeded by much free booze over a lengthy period  on the big Jumbo flying from Manchester to Vancouver ;D |

One of my worst smells is Lamb, I can pick it out in curry sauce or any other strong sauces, I hate the taste of it too.
Rotten flesh is a bad one, when out fishing and anglers have thrown unwanted tiddlers in to the shrubbery.

Not sure if I am going to spell this right or not, but tulbaghia, especially when there are several in a greenhouse (sorry mum!). I love the plants but definitely not the smell. Not keen on the smell that comes out of the back of a dustbin lorry (especially on a hot day) either.

Plant wise, the smell of Hoytinnia (the spreading, multicoloured perennial) and the smell of Clerodendron (boss says it smells like roast beef) make me ill  Other than that, peanut butter, ready salted peanuts and marmite are the devils spawn. |

Oh yuk just remembered - FB reminded me I used to cook Green Raw Cow's Stomach (tripe) for my dogs - it still had bits of grass and stuff stuck to it - it was grey in colour - they were given this as puppies by the breeder and she wanted me to carry on - the smell as it was cooking was upchucking I had to stop after a while  They now eat Hills dried food i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif |

Supa, I haven't drunk gin for about 38 years! I overindulged one night as a teenager (17 gin and tonics and very  ) and can't bear the smell or taste of either of them now. |

I just found it Susie - why did it make you have the vapours i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/undecided.gif is it an aphrodisiac i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/shocked.gif Carrot Whiskey 6 lbs carrots 4 lbs finely granulated sugar 1 lb wheat 1 tblsp chopped raisins 2 oranges 2 lemons 7 pts water wine yeast Scrub but do not peel the carrots. place them in 7 pints of water and bring to boil, simmering gently until tender (about 25-30 minutes). Meanwhile, put half the sugar in primary. Slice the oranges and lemons into thin slices and arrange on top of sugar. When carrots are done, strain them, pouring the water over the sugar and citrus. Stir to dissolve sugar and allow to cool to lukewarm. Add chopped raisins and wheat and sprinkle wine yeast over top. Cover with sterile cloth and set aside, stirring daily. After 6 days add remainder of sugar and stir well to dissolve. Ferment additional 8 days, stirring daily. Strain liquid into secondary and fit airlock. Rack after 30 days and again 30 days later. Bottle and taste after 1 year. |

Sorry Jen but Susie's reference to carrot whisky was a bit of an "in joke" from our days on the beeb.
Still ranks as one of the funniest things ever on a messageboard, don't you agree Sooz ?
