I ate steak that smelled like a barn

[susannah14]

Isn't it frustrating when you insist that your food smells bad but your husbands don't believe you? Um excuse me but I'm the one with the superhero smell right now, so that I can protect myself, my baby and YOU!!

So last night DH grilled steaks, and when he brought them in I took one whiff and said, "I know this is going to sound strange, but my steak smells like a barn. Like cow poo."

Of course he smelled it and was like "Smells like steak to me." I knew he wouldn't believe me. I said "I'm telling you, it smells terrible. Like I'm eating a pile of crap."

He still didn't take me seriously. He said "These steaks aren't even at their sell-by date."

We both took a bite and swallowed. He said, "OMG these steaks are bad."

WHAT HAVE I BEEN SAYING TO YOU!!

Do your guys not take your sense of smell or other kinds of intuition seriously?

Now I'm not judging...not judging here...but...why would in the world would you eat something that smelled like a barn? I live in Texas and have set foot in many barns. It's not a delicious sent.

HAHA. I don't know, I took a bite. I told him if it tasted as bad as it smelled then I was tossing it. It actually didn't taste as bad, but it was definitely off.

Lol... For my 30th birthday my OH took me to the Ritz hotel in Ireland and they have a Gordon Ramsey restaurant on their premises

I was so looking forward to it... But as I walked through the door the place stunk of food cooking and my stomach said NO!

We ended up cancelling this amazing dinner and ordering room service lol... The shame!

My OH wasn't too happy... But eventually understood!

Our cleaner at my shop cleans alot of the work surfaces with vinegar to give it a good shine (apparently!!) but the smell..SO strong! And when he leaves he always gives the air a squirt of air freshener.....I can't be there when he cleans because the smells gets right up my nose!!! x

I had something similar a few days ago. I was making spaghetti and the sausage didn't smell right while I was cooking it. I told myself it was because we used a different brand than regular, but it made the spaghetti taste off, too. My FIL and DH thought I was nuts because they couldn't taste the difference.

You guys are funny. Our noses are crazy sensitive right now. Even my hand lotion makes me queasy, I had to get unscented lotion and unscented dryer sheets.

Lizzy, I'm sure something wasn't right about that meat you ate! I won't be doubting myself again, or let my husband tell me I'm crazy.

In my first trimester, we had a gallon of milk that tasted SO WEIRD. Like, so milky and strong. My DH told me it tasted fine, so I just assumed it was me tasting things differently, so I drank the whole thing. Looking back, I'm sure there was something wrong with it.
