What smells you sense much stronger than other people or less than other people? What are some smells you really can’t stand?

not vegan-friendly
there’s this sort of hot stale smell that certain cuts of beef give off when being cooked that make me lose my appetite, does anyone know what i mean?
you’re referring to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction
steak will properly cook and give the pleasent maillard reaction of the cooking sugars, where as ground been doesn’t get the same reaction and just smells like you’re boiling meat.
it’s the same reason why a smash burger smells good, but just ground beef won’t. sugars.
yeah that makes sense. earlier in the year when we had to heavily budget groceries, we’d end up getting packages of precut beef strips and lower quality ground beef and some of the meals prepared with them by my partner’s mother were always really off. and yeah i think it’s absolutely because they weren’t seared if i understood this correctly.
another food-related one i’ve noticed: sometimes walking through the bread aisle, some types of tortillas seem to give off a strong stale smell as well. ETA: it’s probably cornmeal actually. wet cornmeal has a horrid smell.
