I have to go with anything that's spoiled. The trash gets carried out every day, even if the bag isn't full. I'm sure HubbyDearest has no smeller. He doesn't seem to notice any bad odors, but I more than make up for him. I'm with Ed and KCZ on the cabbage, but I do it in the pressure cooker now, so the smell is fairly confined. Same with broccoli and cauliflower...bring to pressure for 30 seconds, then cold water release & it's perfect, yet the odor doesn't have time to penetrate the whole house. (Cabbage takes a little longer unless you cut it fine).
Grammar lesson: I smell, you stink. /img/vbsmilies/smilies/lookaround.gif
I think of all the smells the one that made me gag the worst was the pan of individual orange creme brulees that we left in a turned off oven for a week. /img/vbsmilies/smilies/thumb.gif
Ohhh that was nasty! How and why it was left there for a week is another story....
The pool of blood that occasionally pools at the bottom of the meat locker and festers producing a lovely smell that lingers in the kitchen for the next half hour.
As far as normal kitchen ingredients (ie, not spoiled or rotten), I just can't stand the smell of lamb stock. I don't mind eating lamb, but when the bones are roasted and water is added - yuck!
I have to agree about the lamb stock but I'll go further and say the smell of any boiling meat. Chicken and lamb especially.
I love eggs but my goodness how awful the smell of a drinking glass that hasn't been washed well after eating an egg breakfast. The rim of the glass has an awful smell.
Ugh... for me, it's tripe parboiling for Tripe a la mode de Caen or whatever. Smells like the worst bad breath you can imagine. /img/vbsmilies/smilies/eek.gif

I would say very old, stale grease....left in the pan with the lid on so no one actually sees it. But after a time, certainly smells it! /img/vbsmilies/smilies/eek.gif Dog or cat food doesnt really smell pleasant either.

The worst smell I ever had was at the Hilton Hotel in Cranston RI the year J&W bought it. I was an 8 week wonder staying there and the cooks left the kitchen, food and all I mean just abandoned this place.I mean soup still in the pots on the stove. We got on the service elevator and somehow found are way done there. It was nasty, and to think we slept over top of this place or 8 weeks.
Has to be rotting meat for me, once I found some bacon sealed in a tub at the back of the fridge that had escaped my notice and had probably been there for weeks. The whole lot had to go including the tub.
Rotten potatoes are bad but I think rotten weeping carrots are worse!
