    I use bacon grease to make scrambled eggs.

    dont forget to spoon the grease over the overeasys, those black bacon bits scraped up in the pan and grease are gold. theres just something wrong with those pure white ihop eggs

    I totally agree. That was my recommendation to her. Eggs taste awesome in bacon grease. These are some fantastic informational comments here.

    Pliny the Elder calls butter "the most delicate of food among barbarous nations"

    Bacteria in butter (or from the cream/milk) can create butyric acid which happens to be the main foul odor of human vomit. 

    Also, you can imagine you smell some things that aren't there due to a condition called "Phantosmia".  Smells invoke strong memories and this can be a normal thing based on your history of them.

    This. That butyric acid smells like puke. In butter or latex. 
    You put carpet in the oven?
    Yep. Gotta dry it. 
    You use chips or chunks with that? Do you soak the chips/ chunks? Does the egg change the color of said carpet? Nice bark? Tell us more please....

    And maybe because I'm a Kerry Gold snob?
    Kerry gold smells like ass when it gets hot. It's grass fed too. 
    Kerry Gold fan as well. Have mixed the Kerry Gold with evoo and noticed a just off smell but went on. What is a non-grass premium butter?
    Central market European butter. They sell at most HEB.

    I'm the guy who asks the waiter which cheese stinks the most for my cheese board.  I generally like foul smelling stuff.  Stinky chemicals are natural components in the identity of many pleasant smelling foods. Diet, soil, weather, etc make some foods smell different.  Not that esoteric my friend.
