Onions. I like the smell, but I cannot eat them.
Coffee. I won’t even eat coffee ice cream.
Popcorn. The hulls drive me nuts. After decades of avoiding them, I tried a variety that claimed to have few hulls. I discovered that I don’t like popcorn anymore.
Unshaven vagina. The pubes get caught in my teeth.
I think Rodney Dangerfield said, “I don’t do cocaine, I just like the smell.”
Corn on the cob. Love the smell of it cooking, and being eaten, with the melted butter and pepper…but can’t take more than one bite
Cloves!
I like the smell while they are cooking, if I taste them, I will vomit.
Coffee. It smells good (at least when it does), but I can’t stand it. I’ve had people ask me if I’ve tried decaf, after I said “I don’t drink coffee, don’t like it”… uhm… the problem isn’t the caffeine…
Ah, you’re the guy the bf’s of several of my HS classmates wanted to be. After just a pull they’d be going “oh, I’m so high… I’m sooo high…” but sounding and moving perfectly sober. The point didn’t so much seem to be getting high as claiming to have gotten high.
You seem to have mastered the single entrendre.
Yep. Ok, I like a mocha, with extra choco and whipped cream, but that’s about it. But the smell of fresh ground coffee is amazing.
You have to get it REALLY fresh.
I hate skunkweed.
But yeah, unburnt pipe tobacco is rich smelling.
I quite like fish and chips, now and again. But it’s the smell of it that’s wonderful. There have been plenty of times when the smell has dragged me in, and then after a couple of mouthfuls I’m thinking - you know what…?

Flan, looks and smells amazing but the taste and texture, slimey yuck!

OK, do I even have to explain why this is wrong? This is an official Warning for trolling.
Mushrooms. Love the earthy rich aroma and flavor when cooked, but the texture is unsettling.
Fresh print smells wonderful. Boards games, books, newspapers, anything with ink.
Tastes lousy, though.
I thought I was the only one!
Nothing better than a brand-new parking lot after it’s been baking in the Florida sun.
Paella comes to mind for me. I think it smells heavenly, but most of the time I’ve eaten it I’ve found it vaguely unpleasant, like a mix of flavors and textures that ALMOST work together but…don’t quite. Not inedible, just…would have rather eaten anything else off the menu.
Cassoulet is similar, but I’ve only had it once so it COULD be a bad sample. Smelled great, full of stuff I love, but tasted like an overdose of salt and fat and protein without any actual flavors along for the ride.
I have a house plant (Phyllanthus angustifolius, a.k.a. foliage flower) whose flowers smell like bacon fritos.
Unfortunately I can’t eat it.
