What food smells can make you hungry?
you have just finished eating and are full. But all of the sudden you smell_________ and you are hungry again.
For me:
Bacon cooking
Popcorn popping
Sesame Oil
If I smell any of these, even if I have just eaten an ox, I get that "man, I'm hungry" feeling.

Also, yeast bread is a trigger for my stomach to start growling even if I just ate.

Thanks for all the great ideas! just thinking about all those different smells sets my drool button going! I completely forgot about the effect of grilling meat until yesterday, I went to drop off a bike seat to a friend and her hubby was out back grilling, OMG I had to leave fast before I embarrassed myself. ;)

I read that the scent of vanilla is supposed to curb your appetite. Anything that smells like something good is cooking/grilling/baking will whet mine.

The smell of Basmati rice steaming. Corn tortillas on cooking on a griddle. Bacon cooking. Rosemary. Onions caramelizing. Butter browning. Baking bread. The aroma of potatoes frying. Minced garlic and anchovy slowly melting in olive oil over the lowest heat my stove can produce. Meat slowly braising in my oven or slow cooker. Leeks melting in butter.
I'm not sure if this is weird, but sometimes smelling a beer with a particularly malty and yeasty aroma will make me hungry.

The smell of cheeseburgers. They are so bad for you, but perhaps the most perfect food on the planet.

@PerkyMac; If that is true, I need to stuff cotton balls in my nose doused with vanilla extract! Talk about the new diet of 2008!! Swimsuit season is just around the corner.
izatryt at 9:00AM on 04/22/08

melting butter, preferably with onions or garlic sauteing
a good tomato sauce bubbling away

Yikes, real vanilla smells so very good...I'd forever be in a daze.
Vanilla candles, sprays, and lotions make me ill -- now that would work for me as an appetite suppressant. :P
Cassaendra at 1:26PM on 04/23/08
