    The smell and taste of cheese is based on the same chemicals as the smell and taste of stinky feet

    Quite a similar thing for eggs: Cooked egg yolks have a smell of sulphur, which is also found in farts.
    There’s a condiment called Kala Namak, which is basically just salt + sulphur. Because it removes so much of the framing, it smells like eggs to some people and like farts to others.
