Food Creates A Stink In One Neighborhood 

DERBY, Kan. - An award-winning sauerkraut recipe is causing quite a stink in one neighborhood.

You see, a teenage chef and his mom have gotten complaints that the stench from their sauerkraut is just too much.

Theresa Klaus and her son, Caleb, are in the process of making 100 pounds of sauerkraut.

The owner of mobile home park where the family lives said she has received three complaints from neighbors about the sauerkraut smell. So she sent a letter telling the family to stop making

1. I've never lived next to a sauerkraut operation, but yeah, I would imagine the stench would be awful

And I like sauerkraut.

However I have lived close to a bakery, and the smell of fresh baked bread drove me nuts. Worse was living a couple of block away from the best BBQ joint around, and when the wind blew from that direction, oh man, it was torture.

franksolich when a teenager worked across the street from a Russell Stover's chocolate candy plant.  The odor didn't endear franksolich to chocolate.

3. Teaching has ruined my sense of smell for good food 

If it smells good it is probably greasy burgers with fake meat. French fries are the worst. Yuck. But they smell wonderful while they are cooking.

6. There is a horrible joke about Cedar Rapids, the Quaker Oats plant and a certain Eastern European fellow and his date. I cannot post it here, for fear of dismemberment by some DUers, I'm afraid.

9. Sounds like the sugar beet processing plant here in Fargo.

If you get a north wind at the wrong time it reeks of "beet plant".

11. when Rockland was more of a fishing town the saying was "Camden by the sea, Rockland by the smell"

For years there was a huge sign up on the sidewalk called the smell-o-meter lol. It was a long time ago, but if I remember the sign correctly, there was an arrow that would point to good, bad, or terrible (something to that effect)

5. Three whole complaints? Wow!

I'm guessing the trailer park is not anywhere near a paper mill, pig farm, or any other industry with entertaining organic gaseous emissions.

I hope Theresa and Caleb share some sauerkraut with the neighbors.

8. Like Kimchi

the smell of Kimchi will linger on for sometime, even after a family has moved out of house/apt.

10. I got a jar of kimchi at the food bank once

It was YUMMY!

I dunno.

The worst odor of any place I've ever sniffed was Boston, Massachusetts, which in the summer reeks of human sewage and dead fish, a brutal assault on these pristine pure Nebraska nostrils.

Coach--try St. Louis, or Golden, Colorado (especially Golden).  Breweries are not nice places if you have a sensitive sense of smell.

Apparently, award-winning sauerkraut chefs aren't very highly compensated.

Yeah, kind of like how the rest of the nation feels about gay marriage ... don't see the parallel?

To answer James Carville's old question, sauerkraut is what you find if you drag a $100 dollar bill through a trailer park.

When I lived in Santa Cruz, there were a couple of companies that roasted coffee. Roasting coffee makes the whole town smell like burnt toast.

The Miller brewery in Ft. Worth always smelled like baking bread to me. I imagine it would get old if I lived in the smell zone though. Nearby Valliant, OK has a paper mill, and its own unique smell because of it. I'd say the worst smell I've encountered was from chicken farms. Then again, I've never been to Boston.

I think I can smell Boston from here, a thousand miles away, but I guess it could be New York.

Chicken Farms and Water Treatment Plants.

Chicken Farms and Water Treatment Plants.

Waste water treatment plants.  Water treatment plants aren't so bad.

Having valued several of both in NYS, I will wholeheartedly agree with this.  I've been to a wastewater (sewage, really) treatment plant, in the Catskills owned by the New York City Board of Water, that is entirely inside one building.  The water coming out of the plant is cleaner than the stream it flows into.  But the odor . . .

Paper mills differ widely in the kind of pulp produced.  Kraft mills smell like sulphur, hell itself.  Luckily, I always worked in groundwood mills, and the whole place smells like a Christmas tree.  Quite pleasant, and I never got sick of it.

I repaired a black liquor tank in a papermill north of Orange, Texas once ..... OMG I don't think I could ever do that again.  I would rather swim in sewage than mess with black liquor.

Sorry, my bad.  That was what I meant.  Used to live south east of one.  Seeing that most of our wind comes from the Northeast, well, it wasn't pleasant.

A friend of mine lived a few blocks away from a plant that made clothing dye. The summertime was the worst. Multiply the smell of a 1980's era home permanent/hair dye kit by a million times or so.

Back in `88-`90 I was in Bedford, MA outside of Boston about a dozen times for DEC (Digital Equipment Corp.) computer schools. I must have ventured into Boston 20+ times, always walking around the Commons and walking the full Freedom Trail 5-6 times. I kind of have a sentimental weakness for MY nation's revolutionary history.
Anyhow, I was ALWAYS struck by that "smell" and in that how could all of these "upper echelon" environmentally conscience Kennedyesq folks allow an American city with such significance to our history to smell so bad!

****ing hypocrites!

My only saving  graces was a lengthy visit to the Bull and Finch Tavern (Cheers) and hoisting 6-8 droughts.

I have been to N.Y. City several times too and REGARDLESS of where you are IN the city, it ALWAYS smells like urine!

In my younger days I worked in the office of Montgomery Doughnuts in Rockville, MD. The office was located on the second floor above the factory and you could smell the doughnuts from the road just by rolling your window down as you passed by.
The roof caved in a few years ago and shut them down.

I miss smelling like a doughnut.
