PSA: Don't bring in your exotic food for lunch

[jtvang125]

And then warming it up in the microwave and stinking up the whole place. I swear there were numerous times when I had to hold my breath when I walked through the room.

I don't care what you eat but if it smells like roadkill please keep that sh!t at home.

 

[SunnyD]

That wasn't lunch... well, it might have been... at least the after effects...

 

[MotF Bane]

Frozen tacos going through the microwave come to mind, that shit smells awful. Fresh cooked stuff smells good, but not frozen and nuked.

 

[techs]

Vegetarian?

 

[CalvinHobbes]

Fish is the one I hate the most, the smell can travel quite far in our office.

 

[Deeko]

I hate when people stink up the office with their food...keep it in the kitchen jerks.

 

[dabuddha]

Suck it up.

My neighbor is American-born and her parents came from Taiwan. She was telling me last night about when she was in high school and how her mother would pack left-overs for her lunch. The other kids made comments and faces and she began to throw her lunch away every day.

Her younger sister is 8 years younger. By that time, Chinese food was more mainstream and the kids at school would offer to trade parts of their lunch.

I guess it's just a matter of perspective.

Nutrasystems meals smell like ass. Keep those out the work kitchen as well!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian

British novelist Anthony Burgess writes that eating durian is "like eating sweet raspberry blancmange in the lavatory."[18] Chef Andrew Zimmern compares the taste to "completely rotten, mushy onions."[19] Anthony Bourdain, while a lover of durian, relates his encounter with the fruit as thus: "Its taste can only be described as...indescribable, something you will either love or despise. ...Your breath will smell as if you'd been French-kissing your dead grandmother."[20] Travel and food writer Richard Sterling says:
? ... its odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away. Despite its great local popularity, the raw fruit is forbidden from some establishments such as hotels, subways and airports, including public transportation in Southeast Asia.[21] ?
Hydrogen sulphide, one of the chemical compounds that may be responsible for the characteristic odour of durian

Other comparisons have been made with the civet, sewage, stale vomit, skunk spray and used surgical swabs.[22] The wide range of descriptions for the odour of durian may have a great deal to do with the variability of durian odour itself.

And that is why I don't bring curry to work.

 

[ivan2]

stinky cheese comes to mind.

 

[DainBramaged]

I find unique food exciting. As long as I get some.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

ahh, memories of past roommate cooking very oily fishies in the toaster oven. man what a stench

as far as work goes, we had one yahoo that brought in a hot plate and skillet and would make elaborate stir frys frequently and stink the joint up. either he was let go or someone let him know whats up bc it hasnt happened in a while

using the office microwave for fish should be grounds for termination.

QFT! I worked for Sony for a few months, the lunch room had like a dozen microwaves and it seems like all the Asians brought fish every day for lunch. I'd walk in and the stench was ghastly. With only 30 minutes to eat and having to wait in the metal detector line before leaving for lunch I pretty much had to eat there.

I wasn't sad when they let me go lol.

I really like the smell, not so much the taste. I say it is like almonds and new shoe.

It's not racist to say Asians eat disgusting smelling food sometimes. It's true. Just like it isn't racist to say American beer is nasty. It's true.

Americans are not a "race" per se. Also, American beer is amazing. Don't drink macros and you'll find a ton of flavor out there. European beers stick to flavors that they know, while American micros experiment like crazy.

What, you don't like it when I bring durian to work? 😛

I don't really think its racist. I was poking fun at QueBert who just yesterday had his panties in a bunch because people accurately predicted that a murder story was about black people.
