Re: Which Scent
I once ate a Kalahari bushman but as they are only the size of an average pygmy they are only good for a mid morning snack.

Re: Which Scent
As kids hooping cough was rife, My old granny would walk us kids behind a steam roller laying tarmacadam on the roads, It seemed to work also the smell of boiling tarmac getting laid, I will never forget that smell. Terry.

Re: Which Scent
One smell that I will never forget is the smell of onions being sautéed in Ghee by the Bhandary on Indian crewed ships. Everytime I got a whiff of the smell all I wanted to do was throw up as it completely turned my stomach.

Re: Which Scent
John, You have just reminded me of the aroma coming from the foc,sle head of pepper soup, The Crewe boys on the palm boats picked up in Freetown, I just had to try it, I must admit it was a pretty taste dish, You just never wanted to know the ingredient's Terry.
