Re: fav smell
 
I agree with you Sara about the smell of coffee, I remember there was a shop in Accy in the sixties called Tippings on Abbey Street at the top of Little Blackburn Road where they used to grind coffee and sell it to you freshly ground in paper bags, as you walked in the shop the smell of the different varieties of coffee was an aroma to die for, wonderful!

Sara 18-02-2005 15:32
Re: fav smell
 
Freshly baked bread and fresh coffee brewing.

accyplus 18-02-2005 15:32

Freshly mown grass,hawthorn in flower.fresh coffee,fried smokey bacon,ciggy smoke
when you have stopped smoking,a cool pub on a red hot day.

What? you like the smell of fear?

I like the smell of freshly cut grass. But the best smell or smells have got to be from new age shops, incense *sniff* mmmm

nothing ever smelled as good as fish and chips in news paper

Re: fav smell
 
other peoples chips

other peoples chips always smell and taste better than ones you bought your self

Margaret Pilkington 18-02-2005 20:53
Re: fav smell
 
Unless Chav, they got knocked down while reading the paper that the fish and chips was in as they crossed the road.......and isn't it funny how fish and chips always taste better out in the open air......especially at the seaside?

i ve hayfever but its the smell of cut grass that makes me feel sick but still bonfires are the worst at least though gives me an excuse to stay in the pub eating all the grub and getting drunk while everyone else freezes outside

West Ender 18-02-2005 21:09
Re: fav smell
 
I love the smell of new cut hay and, honestly, the smell of horses. I don't even mind the smell of horse manure. :D


Must agree about fresh coffee and bacon, though, and the smell of tomato plants always reminds me of my dad, who grew dozens of them every year. :)

Sustitute the vanilla ice cream for fresh whipped cream and that was exactly whaat lettie and I indulged in, in the Apple Pie Eating House in Ambleside on Wednesday, on my return from Poland. Buonissimo. :thumbsup:

My own favourite smell would have to be the smell of a freshly cooked bacon butty; closely followed by Cerutti 1881 perfume. :rolleyes: :D

No......can't go for the apple pie with cinnamon.......allergic to cinnamon, and if by some remote chance I have apple pie, then I am the one who gets the 'toenails'......I KNOW they aren't really toenails, they are the pods the pips come in....... but they remind me of toenails. I think apple pie and ice cream is a poor dessert.......poor on their own, and not helped much when put together.

Fresh cut grass(the normal green stuff not the smoking type!) Coffee, The sea, Bacon, all get high on my list.

I too like teh smell of Coal Tar soap and even carbolic.

No Park.......If there was only apple pie for dessert, I would pass.......and I have been known to miss a main course for dessert.......but I don't care for apple pie at all. Would rather have rice pudding......home made, with a lovely crusty brown top.....dollop of raspberry jam...mmmmmmmmmmmmm! I do like the fancier stuff too.
So you can have my slice of the pie!

Think you'd be second in line, if there were rice pud with raspberry jam, on offer. I used to love it cold, when skinned over............now that is good.
What about Jam rolly, done in the steamer.....mmmmmmm add the custard..............mmm. Remember the days of my Gran's cooking ;)

Margaret Pilkington 19-02-2005 19:56

Yeah, that and spotted dick.....steamed in the rag. They don't make stuff like that anymore. I do still make my own rice pudd, and very occasionally jam roly poly..... but have to watch the waistline these days.

Re: fav smell
 
Oh yes the "New Age" shops for definite, followed a close second by "Lush" and "Pink" - then for something completely different freshly baked bread, cinnamon, vanilla and my favourite floral smells, honeysuckle and freesia. Why doesn't freesia seem to smell as good these days though?

MUMMIBOO 19-02-2005 22:19

I love the smell of asphalt, fabric softener, boxes of chocs, grass, and baby powder.

Doug 19-02-2005 22:27
Re: fav smell
 
I love honeysuckle; you can't beat a walk down a country lane on a late summer evening. As for freesia there’s a bunch mixed with white roses to my left as I write and they small perfect together. The problem with freesia as with most cut flowers today is they loose there scent when their forced and because we want them all year round we lose out.

Re: fav smell
 
I can't believe that only WestEnder has touched on the most beautiful smell in the U.K.! Horse Manure!.........Well, pigs actually to be precise,:D

Further down south, the fields are annually coated in a lovely layer of well rotted sh** to encourage the cereal crops to grow.

Some years ago, the farmers played about with processed dung that didn't have that distinctive "ammonia" smell but have recently reverted back to the "proper" stuff!

For those that were brought up in the countryside, it was better that the best french perfume (unless you tried putting it behind your ears!) It was a sight to see the "townies" cringe as those lovely smells invaded their nostrils:rolleyes:

Bloody hell fireman, I remember sitting on the kerb at the end of Canal Street on hot days sticking lollie pop sticks in the tar and smelling the stuff, lovely. I don’t recall being hung over the boiler, but I remember the guys working on the lorry letting us swig sarsaparilla and lemonade out of stoneware jugs. I went over to Church recently and was able to see the cobbles through the decaying road surface on the end of Canal Street, the very ones we picked at 30 odd years ago. From that I assume that HBC left the cobbles in place and just capped the streets where a new surface?

Out of interest, I drove down the back alley behind my old house on Church Street, other than new gates and the bin holes being filled in, it was just the same as it was when I left for Fern Gore in the mid 1960s the cobbled surface was just as I last saw it. I suppose it hasn’t really changed in over a hundred and odd years.

Mums used to hold a baby over the tar boiler if it had croup...... it was supposed to cure it.
As for hot summers and playing with gas tar.......one of my brothers once did that and got it stuck in his hair and on his school pants......Mother was not best pleased.... in fact she was furious......so much so that she shaved his head rather than just cutting the bit with the gas tar in. Everyone at his school thought he had nits. The trousers were treated with lard.
