well 2 things I don't care for are liver & coconut liver cooking doesn't smell all that enticing although with onions it makes it somewhat tempting but uuggghh! the taste is dry leather ! coconut smells O.K but after tasting it and I can't even stand the smell of it I dis-like German Chocolate cake cause they put coconut on the frosting what I waste of good chocolate now I'm sure I'm going get lampooned by all the Liver/Coconut fans out there which are legion

Castor oil mohs ? Lubricant per excellence. Mom used to buy this label, and 4 ounce cans with same yellow and brown label. Prefer even prune juice over castor, she had to catch me when the castor oil got whipped out.

Ed, you're over frying that liver. Done to perfection with fried taters & onions, it's a meal fit for royalty.

I hated liver as a child (yes, I was one a long time ago ), but grew to like liver in my late teens. Mom and I were the only ones that liked it. Used to get calves liver, but I guess that isn't PC anymore. Wonder if you can still get it at a butcher shop?
Mom used to cook beets, just for herself. I don't think ANYONE else ever liked them.
One other smell that sticks in my mind is perm solution, from when my mom would do perms for people, or on us girls.

Prefer even prune juice over castor, she had to catch me when the castor oil got whipped out. I prefer to just eat the prunes, myself. Same brand, even, although it's sold by Costco, so has Kirkland name on it, too. Now they call them "dried plums" so as to remove any connection with prunes (and the reason a person would be eating them, lol).

Call me crazy... I really like prune juice and I love calf liver done right with bacon and onions. MMM MMM Good! When I was a kid, Dad refused to eat liver, so Mom would fix him a steak when we got liver. I never even felt cheated and I love me some red meat.

This the stuff you were talking about James ? Beats hell out of that hot water bottle hanging from a hook near the toilet with the rubber hose and plastic thingie attached to it. (Yes, mom used that on me when I was a kid too). Beets and asparagus. Yuck !! Folks used to grow both and forced me to eat it. Hate the sight of it now. Hey Ed, chicken hearts are OK, but chicken livers are to die for. Jean, beef liver still shows up in our local store from time to time. Guess it's a country folks thing.

Ah yes Ed. Visions of my first Vietnamese open air meat market. Flies crawling all over the meet hanging from hooks. Fly covered blood on the ground. Mangy cats and dogs sleeping on the dirt floor.

Used to donate blood regularly. Before I'd go in, I'd be sure to eat some liver to boost my iron so I wouldn't be too low and get turned down.

Hmm, more good smells --- candy corn ---yum; mud --- fun; Pledge spray furniture polish --- fun; newly mown grass --- I was the family lawn mower; roses; chocolate cake; mimeo-graph ink; newly sharpened wood pencil. I was in about the 7th grade when I first learned of Scripto mechanical pencils. I was high tech : ) Nuns didn't like them --- obviously a work of the devil. I bought a red one first. Other colors later. Loved the colors and transparency. Never needed sharpening.
Jean, I used to love baby beef liver with catsup and onions and/or bacon. Several friends and I went out a couple of times and we all ordered the same thing. Nobody else would go with us when we ordered liver. Don't care for it now.

I remember that perm smell Jean. Got a few home perms when I was younger. I hated that the smell lingered in your hair for at least the first few days until you could wash it.
Right now mom is baking chocolate chip cookies and the smell is making hungry.

I also like the smell of Jerkin's hand lotion. It smelled like chocolate covered cherries. I was about 11 years old and finally tasted a drop. IT WAS AWFUL !! I also liked the smell of a Greyhound bus as it passed by. Something about the Diesel fuel I liked. Coarse I never stayed behind a Greyhound bus long enough to choke on it !

Breck conditioner. Man, that stuff smelled good. I think it is different now.
Remember the old fashioned, big, orange candy peanuts? The were sorta like a cross between candy corn and maybe a peep. The smell is what I remember most. They have changed since I was kid.
