Vegetarians - Does your mouth water when you smell meat cooking?
Just wondered if when you smell a barbeque or roast, even if you dont eat meat, does the smell make your mouth water?
Answers:
personally mine can at times ie if im really hungry or theres a chicken being roasted. I think it will if a person used to be a meat eater rather than if they were a veggie from birth. its totally psychological me thinks, so the answer to your question is yes yES YES!!!!!
It's the spices and smoky smell that I like, not the meat itself.
So no..
some times i't waters i't depends on what kind of met.
i think since i have refraid for meat for a while, i am now psychologically disgusted by meat. smelling it, looking at others eat it, it makes me want to be sick. i liked meat once (i've grown up in an italian home, we had it all the time) but i no longer find it appetizing, and even if i did i wouldn't support the industry by eating it.
nope, not at all, i never used to eat much meat before i became a veggie so im ok, if howver you used to eat alot of meat before you turned then it probably would.
depends if you genetically hate meat or if you just chose not to eat meat because of other reasons like:
my parents are vegetarians
slaughtering animals for food is too cruel
being a vegetarian is cool
yes
My friend is a veggie.... she drools at the smell of bacon cooking but won't have a bite of it!
Not at all .I don't ever like that smell.i feel vomiting
Mouth watering is a biological response to hunger or a desire for food and the presence of food. It cannot be consciously controlled so I would say veggies do get this happening, it's biological impossible for it not to happen.
no.
I agree with Princess ( below ). I once walked out halfway through a date with a girl who was WAY out of my league...she chose the Salmon and had no clue what happened, think she was quite offended that i dumped her !!!
Gosh it all stinks, why do you eat it.
no actually when i smell an animal that's someones murdered and is being cooked i throw up!
think about what it is cow,pig,chicken
A barbeque or a roast doesn't necessarily indicate that meat is being cooked...
Like some of the others here, I love the smell of herbs cooking, but I don't actually like the smell of meat. When I was younger, before I was vegetarian/vegan, I use to become very ill at the smell of cooked lamb. I can't tell you how nauseous it made me. Ugggh. And for the record, cooked chicken smells like sulphur, like farts. You ever smelt a bag of warm chicken wings? It's like someone has literally guffed directly in there with the chicken. Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuw!
Nearly all meat is cooked with herbs. How many people would go into KFC if they just sold plain, cooked chicken? A lot of people confuse the smell and taste of meat with the smell and taste of herbs.
Oh my god, really REALLY not. I can't even be in the kitchen it meat is being cooked, it makes me feel sick. Every time I walk by an open-air meat market a wave of nausea comes over me. The smell of mince frying in a pan is possibly my worst nightmare. The smell of fish haunts me in my nightmares.
I'm not just being melodramatic, I honestly can't stomach it. Not only have I been veggie for 15 years, my mother almost never cooked meat in our house when I was growing up so I just wasn't exposed to it. When you aren't used to seeing or handling bits of raw, dead animal flesh, there is something incredibly sickening about it.
yes, it's hard.. but the thoughts of that animal dying keep me from biting into the meat..its all about brainwashing yourself :-
)
No. My mom and my dad cook meat all of the time, and I carry around a bottle of Oust. I hate the smell. My sister on the other hand has a hard time, but she thinks of all of the cute animals that she does not want to eat.
The stuff added to the meat to make it taste good, such as spices, make it smell good. The thought that "meat makes my mouth water" is a little primitive!
No. It has been so long now since I ate the meat, the scents and tastes I like have totally changed.
Personally no-the smell of burning flesh holds no appeal for me.
Maybe some don't but I think for even half of vegetarians to claim this is ridiculous. It's superhuman. The reaction is instinctual; you don't eat meat because of a moral objection, not because you're biologically adverse to it.
No. The smell disgust me.
The look of it repulses me.
No, usually I get an upchuck reflex.
Yes. But then again, a cat food advert made my mouth water once. It was scary.
No,I can't stand the smell of red meat,it makes me gag.It smells like lard to me.If you ever have a bucket of lard or something smell it and that is how meat smells tome.Bacon is the worst because the smeel goes through the whole house.
Not at all. If you don't think of slaughtered animals as a food source then you realise it for what it is... rotting flesh being burnt to make it edible.
To me the smell is just death and rotting carcasses. Worst is when you have something like a hog roast and the whole animal is skewered and is slowly cooking. The smell is horrid and the sight just adds to it.
Amazing that you can't cremate a body in this country without the crematorium being a long way from people's homes due to possible smell pollution, but you can legally burn several full animals at one of these roasts without any legal worry of the polluting smell.
Also I really hate that smell that you get walking past a butchers window - uncooked death!. BTW definition of Butcher from google:
* a retailer of meat
* a brutal indiscriminate murderer
The greatest irony is that so few see the link!
no. sometimes when im in the supermarket and past by the buchter there cooking meat and i majorly gag. i even gag when i see meat.
