Corn smells like Peanut ButterGuys, my sense of smell is going haywire. I don't know what's going on. I think I'm becoming more sensitive to sweet smells lately.Basically, I've been unable to afford food for the last few weeks. So I ate through everything I had. For the last week of this deprivation, I survived on a single 3lb bag of brown rice. And I ate every last grain in that bag. Then, I went to the food bank. And they gave me a bunch of produce. Which I'm super thankful for. All these healthy veggies is very welcome after that long week of brown rice.But now it's like the vegetables smell different. They're sweeter than I remember. I just finished eating this ear of corn, and the remains are sitting in front of me. When I catch a whiff of what smells DISTINCTLY of peanut butter. That's odd, so I sniff around, and find out that the smell is coming from the corn. It doesn't just smell a little like peanut butter. It smells EXACTLY like peanut butter. I'm sniffing it right now.I'm so confused. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? What phenomenon is this?
You may have reset your taste buds. Corn is probably adjacent to peanuts in some manner so you are catching a whiff of it. Veges probably taste sweeter cause your taste buds were diluted until the reset.

food always tastes weird after you starved or ate bland food for a long time. I had to eat unsalted oatmeal and boiled eggs for like 2 months once and when I tried to eat normal food again it all tasted weird. I basically rerolled my food preferences and I no longer eat like I used to at all.

>>21688306You say unsalted oatmeal, but you at least had sugar, right?!I'd hate to imagine having to eat completely unsweetened and unsalted oatmeal.
>>21689271no I mean unsalted oatmeal with water. honestly it was one of the best things I ever did because now all food tastes good to me. nothing is bland. some things are too salty though. I can't eat deli meat anymore it just tastes like salt.
>>21689281Maybe I'm too American to understand. But salt isn't like a main ingredient to oatmeal to my understanding. Salt only assists in bringing out the flavor of the actual ingredients. So when you say "unsalted oatmeal". I'm not understanding if that means you didn't have other ingredients or not.I make my oatmeal with sugar, cinnamon and butter for example. Classic style. What did you make your oat meal with?
>>21689286I made my oatmeal with water. I did it for an esophagus sore I had. I couldn't have added salt and even adding fruit would cause me pain from the acidity.
>>21689312Bruh, tell me what you DIDN'T make your oatmeal with. I've made oatmeal with water before. But I also put other ingredients in the oatmeal along with the water. So telling me you made it with water, isn't necessarily telling me much about the oatmeal. If you put nothing in it, then just say you put nothing in it.
>>21689329I also ate dry oatmeal so water is an ingredient that I used sometimes but not always
Anyone ever seen the reaction video where wyclef jean is eating corn on the cob and they show him 2 girls 1 cup and he just keeps on eating like it's nothing
vaxx status?
>>21689372The vax doesn't affect one's ability to smell. Getting covid does.
>>21689398You're not allowed to say that because it's "pro pharma" and that's hypocrisy or something
>>21688154That's nothing, driving over a dead skunk distinctly smells like an egg mcmuffin to me (in a good way)
