Hello everyone, isn't it amazing how the taste and smell of some food can make us roll our eyes back and say "heaven..." ( i am talking about food ) I love fruits, so for example when i try a piece of mango, or when i smell watermelon, or when i have some pork or lamb ribs, fresh sea food, crab, shrimps... mmhmm
what about you?

Thanks for sharing

Steak Tartar , a recent discovery for me.
Bacon and HP sandwich
Bacon and Pineapple sandwich
Scallops
Eggs Benedict

Heck, the list is endless...

A pint of Pedigree and a bag of scratchings.

Do you know this fruit? It is heavily perfumed,

The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust and has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia.


The durian, native to Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, has been known to the Western world for about 600 years. The 19th-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace famously described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds". The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and it is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet edibles in Southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.

I know this. Because of its smell we have signs like this

Lamb with mint sauce
Anything with passionfruit

And - anything from M & S foodhall

Lamm with mint sauce, yum, have never even imagine it, would you share that one, i will pm you

Freshly baked cookies and pies (soft on the inside, crispy on the outside) and cake (the aroma carries me away on a soft cloud every time). Baked cauliflower with olive oil and grated grana padano - simple but lovely. The smell of majoram in Berlin potato soup. The texture and taste of soft-boiled eggs. The sight of a persimmon cut cross-section and its unabashed sweetness.

Miniature ginger cakes I've just taken out of the oven. They're cooling and waiting patiently for lemon icing - hope they last that long.

Langoustines. When I lived in Barcelona my boss used to take me to eat these by the dozen. I can still taste the buttery goodness, washed down with white wine in winter or a clara (lager top) in summer.

Chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, roasted chicken with stuffing, a nice garlicky-tomatoey arribiata sauce, some really strong espresso

The smell and sound of percolating coffee, and toast. Very simple, but it takes me back to sleepovers at my grandparents' when I was very young. For me, it's the smell of love.

Anything with wild mushrooms I've picked - morels being favourites. And my 2 favourite cheeses, Gruyère and Stilton.

ahh breakfast. Especially from 1:30. Mmmm

So many things . . .

I agree with DB about a pint of ale, though I question Pedigree since Marstons was taken over a few years ago.

Foie gras, particularly if it's pan fried and served warm with a glass of sweet wine.

Wild strawberries. They are fragrant in a way no normal strawberry can match. One of my favourite ever meals was freshly picked wild strawberries fresh from the forest next to the Estonian farm we were staying at, then eaten with raw milk.

Grouse is just amazing. The depth and complexity of flavour and the sheer deliciousness.

A good bacon sandwich. Enough said.

Some types of good, strongly flavoured apples. Cox Orange Pippin or Russet. With a good Cox, the flavour sort of just curls around your tongue.

I had a good course at the Fat Duck a good few years ago which was caviar on top of a white chocolate disk. The instruction was to place the disk on your tongue and let it melt. As the smooth white chocolate melted creamily away, individual beads of salty caviar started to run over your tongue. Unusual and quite a sensation.

It's white truffle season!!! Mmmmm - need to buy me a little bit of some to shave over some risotto, spaghetti aglio olio! *slurp*

CURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any type of it (Indian, Thai or even just your plain old Currywurst!)

My husband takes it a step further in that it not only does a fresh Indian curry delight his senses but affects his heart too! He claims his heart actually skips a beat when he smells the aroma and chows down on the stuff!

For me, cakes, cookies and bread making their magic in the oven and steakhouses

Curry!
And prawns cooking in their shells on the BBQ

A nice rack of barbecue ribs does it every time!!
