If you dont like the smell of something you wont like the taste of it.

Utter tosh! Roquefort stinks to high heaven, but tastes delightful, as does parmesan

Mince. I seriously detest the smell of mince cooking but love mince and tatties!

It's an odd smell for true.

+1 for mince beef. Can't stand the smell, so I don't cook with it, but I'm happy to eat it if it's already been cooked!

I haven't read the whole thread, but if you don't like the smell of something, why would you put it in your mouth?

With mince, it only smells bad when you're cooking it, but when it's cooked it smells fantastic.

Saying that, I'm not sure I'll have any mince for a while until we find out just how deep the horsemeat scandal goes

 

[One]

Why? Horse isn't bad for you.

 

[Eddie]

Why? Horse isn't bad for you.

I didn't say it was, I'd rather not eat it though.

 

[Aeleys]

False... Porridge smells lovely yet my tongue tells me different same as petrol...

 

[BananaDunka]

Petrol. Tastes nice

Fuel for thought.

 

[pingwing]

In before 'vagina'.

You have won the won the thread again!

 

[Slurm]

Been 100% true for me, noticed that a few years ago.

btw, some of those saying False are giving examples of the opposite.

 

[Scougar]

False. Many times I've eatenn/drunken something that smelled awful, but tasted pretty good. For example, an ale I had the other day, smelled of stale cheese, but tasted lovely.

 

[VIPER258]

Nah.

Eggs smell like **** but they taste great.

 

[robgmun]

FALSE. Durian Fruit, smells like a rotten corpse but tastes great

Now for me it tastes as worse then it smells

 

[estebanrey]

When fresh, fish doesn't smell 'fishy' (largely speaking) and will only smell of anything if you held it up to your face to take a sniff.

This, when I lived in Sweden one of the first thing I noticed was the distinct lack of any smells in their shops with fish counters. I learned two things that day, how fresh fish don't smell and how un-fresh British fish counters must be as up to that point I'd always associated them with a horrendous pong.

I had also noticed this

Looks like i may have to seek out some of this Duriel fruit!

 

[Uncle Petey]

FALSE.
Example: Friend was utterly convinced he wouldn't like Supermalt because of the way it smelt (He used the smell=taste argument).
After being a complete drama queen and psyching himself up to take a sip, he found that he liked it and henceforth stfu.

I actually hate the smell of rice cakes, but I don't mind the taste, haha!
