Help! My meat smells like wet dog??!

Thriftlady - that is funny!

Assuming that you aren't pregnant declutterqueen (!), I sometimes feel like that about meat, particularly mince - the smell to me seems similar to damp dog, and I just can't eat it - I think the texture of mince is pretty grim too.

I rarely eat mince, and could never cook it myself because of the smell. You aren't alone!

There's nothing wrong with going veggie!

Sometimes the smell of certain mince cooking (not really our local stuff but sometimes stuff my mum bought down in Lanarkshire) made me gag, as do certain other food smells. It is annoying as it can put you off eating it as smell/taste so closely linked!
Why don't you just not have any for a while ?
I am wanting mince now lol thinking about it- pepperoni pizza on meal plan for tonight though!

You could have a low grade tummy upset or virus that is affecting you x

I get really sensitive to smells for a couple of days before my period is due. There's things I normally eat the rest of the time that smell disgusting when I'm premenstrual. It's just a hormonal thing, but a little less pronounced than the pregnancy/smell reaction.

Try cooking mince again in a couple of weeks?

I'm a bit like that with pork. I love roast pork but I hate the smell it makes when it starts to cook.

Yeah I was going to say pregnant too.... Other than that could be a tummy upset or something. I hate the smell of corned beef and lamb. Sometimes though you just go off things...?
