only sith deal in absolutes, so I won't say "worst". but recently I made a layered-baked-rigatoni, first step decasing and browning italian sausage in a pot. It was really pretty foul.

I brewed some shitty beer and was left with a bunch of yeast residue (trub) in the bottom of the jar after bottling. I decided to try concentrating it into some kind of a yeast nutrient so I put it into a frying pan and boiled it. Holy Jesus. I have never smelled anything so bad. I still had the smell in my nose three days after.

The smell was reminiscent of how you'd expect a dead body to smell, but not the familiar (and by comparison pleasant) scent of rotting flesh, rather more like the decomposing body of some extraterrestrial creature whose biology is based on something much more foul than carbon.

Idk if it counts as a cooking smell, but once when I worked stocking shelves at a drugstore, someone took a tube of frozen ground turkey and put it on the back of a shelf in the dry food aisle and covered it up with a can, and nobody found it until it was bursting and infested with maggots, after noticing an odd smell for almost a week

1. I was cooking something in a pan and fell asleep so it all burnt off and the burnt pan smell was horrible. I threw that thing away because it would have taken too long to clean.
2. bagel bites, I followed the directions and put them in a microwave went to take a piss came back after one minute and it didn't look quite right in the microwave, opened the microwave door and smoke started billowing out.
That was during a cold winter so it took a while to air out my kitchen without going freezing cold myself. That's the last time I ever bought those nasty bagel bites.

My best friend's mother was a horrible cook. I would go over to their house for sleepovers all the time in high school, and I dreaded dinner every time. I was a picky eater to be sure, but her cooking was bad by any standard.
One time she made lamb, which I like, and when my friend and I went upstairs to the kitchen it just smelled like straight-up dog shit. Thankfully we were allowed to eat downstairs instead of at the dinner table with his parents, because I wasn't able to get a single bite down. It was super tough and dry and just tasted like dirt. Awful.

back in college my room mate and I went hiking in the desert near the college exploring old mines and shit. at one point we stumbled on a pit with a rotting dead cow in it. it must have fallen in and either got hurt and died or could not get out and died.

my room mate started throwing rocks at the maggot infested carcass which smelled fucking disgusting.

I was worried we were going to get it on us as it was splattering everywhere.

Later when we got back to the campus at dinner time we go to stand in line at the cafeteria.

I start smelling that dead cow again. I'm looking all over me and my room mate to see where the smell is coming from. he can't figure it out either.

We are both sure people can smell us but play it cool.

We get up to the serving line and found the source of the smell.

I once went to a restaurant in china town (Amsterdam) with my girlfriend and after we'd decided on our orders, the waiter took away the menus before asking for our picks. I guess my gf mixed up number 16 with 19 or something. Anyway, 10 minutes later the smell of industrial sewage plant/festival toilet starts hitting me. I do a wtf gesture and look over at our neighboring table who've obviously gotten the wiff as well and look disgusted and flustered. Waiter arrives at our table and places a steaming bowl of duck or chicken intestine soup in front of my gf. When the waiter leaves my gf is on the verge of tears.

I get so sick of incompetent women. Let me give you some personal insight on the matter.

I've been with my wife for 10 years now. We met in high school, and I got her pregnant.
She is and always has been a lazy person and a shit cook. I wouldn't even mind eating shit food if she at least made it on time. But she rarely did.

We'd get into screaming arguments constantly about how lazy and worthless she was. I felt like an asshole for it, but goddamn she was a real piece of work. The only reason I dealt with all this was for the kids, and also because the sex is great.

But one night, I got fed up. Not only did she get drunk, neglect the kids, and made me top Ramen for dinner, but she decided to give me attitude too. She was being real fucking bitchy. So I told my grandparents to keep an eye on the kids and told my wife we were going to go out and have dinner together. I drove maybe 3 blocks to a quiet area (we live in Oregon, it's not hard to find a quiet field) and I got out of the car, went around like I was going to open her door for her and let her out, and I just beat the shit out of her while she was still seatbelted. After a few punches, I asked her if she wanted to go back to her parents. She started screaming and yelling and said yes, so I beat the shit out of her again. Then I asked her what she wanted to do. She finally got smart and said she wanted to go home. So I took her home and dared her to start trouble. I even handed her my cellphone and dialed her mom's number on the drive home. I made her talk to her mom, while daring her to fucking say something.

Before that incident, I had never laid a hand on her. But I had always threatened it. I told her "one of these days, if you don't straighten up, I'm going to lay hands on you."

All my meals have been on time, and she just recently tried to make a meatloaf. It was mediocre, but I was just thrilled that she tried.

Do with this information what you will.

You're a shit person and engaging in POA behavior. Shame on you.

Mine is is just messy. She cooks almost daily for me. My wife never admits her faults the day of, its always a day later. So I say my piece and let it marinate. The story of Oliver the leftover was one case, however, I've been married long enough to know shit never changes so I usually just clean up after her. Every so often I snap. Oliver was a snap. Other time I snapped was when she didn't fold her laundry and left it laying on the floor for weeks so I took it and just threw it on the lawn. Never hit her, just embarrass her. This is how women solve problems with each other so you have to do the same to them. Its psychological warfare.

My Dad bought a takeaway shop from a couple of alcoholics, turns out they had a freezer full of meat that they stopped using and the freezer was left switched off for a couple of years. We dragged it out the back and opened it. It contained plastic bags full of liquified meats. Completely putrid. My Dad asked me to throw them on his bonfire but some of the bags broke and I was splashed with the worst smelling liquid imaginable. It was beyond rotting flesh, it seemed like it had fermented or something, the smell was sour death. Had to throw my shoes out because they still smelled a week later after washing

The only smell to make me vomit was when I forgot I’d thawed out some chicken and it had been sitting in the back of the fridge for about 2 weeks. The bottom sides had turned bluish and you could smell that distinctive smell through the bag. I’d had a couple beers so I opened it, stuck my face in, and inhaled deeply. It was an immediate reflex, just projectile vomited right back into the bag.
Rotting chicken has always made my skin crawl but this took it to a new level.

Cousin burnt some aromatics to the point that it's smoking rapidly. He's cooking in an enclosed space with bad ventilation and we're both coughing badly, told him numerous times that we should go out, retard refused and continued cooking as if nothing is happening while I'm outside gasping for air after holding it in. At least I know now why that faggot has bad physical health in his 40s when his intuition doesn't even tell him that there's something bad with the air he's inhaling.

I work maintenance for a school district. A few years ago, I was doing rounds in the high school, and when I entered the building I was hit with an abhorrent stench. Immediately I thought there was a sewer gas leak. It wasn't as simple as dried out traps, this was eye stinging bad. I got people on the radio and we started pulling tunnel covers to find a shit leak. As it turns out the special needs kids were trying to cook, and ended up creating a miasma.

It was "Beef stroganoff" that was burned into the bottom of a kettle. It looked like dried up ears that were burned into a clinker. The smell was just like intense sewer gas.

Probably authentic.
Actual Chinese food can be pretty horrendous, the stuff we eat in the West is either the cream or heavily modified to the point it'd be unrecognisable in Shanghai.

Back when I lived with my parents I went to preheat the oven without checking inside first and my mom had placed a roast in there to defrost so the cats wouldn't get to it. Melted the styrofoam and plastic wrap, I scraped it up and cleaned the best I could but it would smell like burning plastic any time you turned it on for years.

Not exactly cooking related, but I always avoided this one coffee shop when I went for walks in a certain area of town. Always gave it a wide berth because instead of smoking at the back of the establishment like normal cafe workers, these shitheads smoke right outside the front door of their hipster coffee bar. The smell of cigarettes are fucking disgusting, and fuck any of you weak subhumans who allow yourselves to be addicted to this cancerous trash

My second roommate in Bahrain ordered a pumpkin fish curry that had an odor that woke me up from a dead sleep. I told him to throw it out immediately because anything that smells as terrible as it smelled shouldn't be consumed. It was like a reheated sack of gym clothes that have been steeped in body odor

>What is the worst cooking smell you have ever encountered?

When I was a kid, my Polish immigrant mom would regularly cook up a huge witch kettle of flaki for my Polish immigrant dad who loved it and I’d come home from school to the whole house stinking of the stuff, with my dad teasing me every time and trying to get me to eat it; “Haha, you eat! Is good, sonofabitch!”

not exactly cooking but used to work in a lab where we autoclaved algae and it is the worst smell ever its worse than chicken farms, its worse than a shed full of dead mice covering the entire floor, its worse than a kitchen full of moldy food that chinese renters left, its worse than sewer plants, its worse than cow shit.

probably not cooking, but a plastic spatula ended up melting or some shit in the dishwasher. The smell of burnt plastic was etched into my memory for weeks.
