The Top Ten
1 Barbecued Burgers

"What do those burgers taste like? "
"America."
"Wow, really what does America taste like? "
"America"
"wow, that is... That is very deep."
"America"
"Is that all you can say? "
America.

This makes all non-vegetarians and even some vegetarians hungry...

Can't talk. Jaws clamped over my desk.

2 Rice

I love eating rice. So I just smell it before cooking, its just so good. Love the smell so much.

But the uncooked one.

The uncooked one.

3 Garlic

Garlic always makes me hungry. The strong aroma of, I don't know, crunchy and tender garlic bread, lean and meaty garlic roast chicken, or a spicy garlic-rich stir fried beef; once I smell garlic, I eat. Even if I've just had seven courses of a garlic-free meal. Addictive stuff.

I agree with you 100 percent on that, PositronWildhawk. Just not before or during a date! Under those circumstances, go for bacon!

Garlic for the win

4 Pizza
5 Bacon

Wow! Normally I'd say curry but as soon as I knew of this list I instantly thought of bacon. Mmm... Wonderful..

6 Sausages

I love sausages and it smells very good.

7 Fries French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of fast food restaurants. Fries in America are generally salted and are often served with ketchup; in many countries they are topped instead with other condiments or toppings, including vinegar, mayonnaise, or other local specialties.
8 Curry

The smell of an outburst of spice and flavour. No explanation required.

9 Roast Chicken
10 Rosemary

Will eat anything if you can taste the rosemary. Delicious stuff with a delicious smell.

The Contenders
11 Melted Chocolate
12 BBQ Chicken
13 Bread

Depends on the bread. Garlic bread, for instance, makes me more hungry than oatmeal with butter.

14 Mint
15 Popcorn

Instant hunger inducer, even when I am full.

16 Baking Cookies
17 Fried Onion

Onions dry-fried; what a hunger-inducing smell!

18 Meat
19 Hot Sauce

Must agree with this one. Thanks to whoever added that.

20 Chinese Food

The Chinese have one of the best cuisines in the world, and also some really good smelling food.

21 Brownies
22 Frittata
23 Poached Mango

Mango may be the second best fruit to pineapple, but mango has the better smell.

24 Fennel
25 Cardamom
