Popcorn at work should be outlawed!

[figment52]

Fried????????????????????? ??????????????Plaintains???

I describe them as a cross between bananas and sweet potatoes. I first had them in Aruba with BBQ. I found them to be rather tasty. Can't find them around here though so I have no idea how they would smell cooking.

I agree with you. I'm in the same situation and the smell of whatever the heck they are cooking...fish heads or who knows what makes you almost want to barf. It's disgusting. How do they eat that crap after the smell it gives off.

Having been to China and seeing how many people there are over there, I can't imagine how large the food source would have to be to feed everyone. I guess that if it is eat or perish they think twice about throwing parts of a fish away. We went to a restaurant one night and they were serving parts of the chicken that I never thought other animals even ate.

We have customers from SE Asia that visit and look at what we eat and how we prepare it as strange too.

It was outlawed at Chris' office. He works for a French company and the French employees (majority) are sickened by the smell....hence the ban.

I must say I am starting to really hate popcorn.

In my office people cook popcorn for breakfast, lunch and a afternoon snack. Unforutnately it stinks up the entire office, so I have to smell popcorn all day long. I actually have a headache from it today.

Do you think it would be ok if I put a sign on the microwave saying popcorn is no longer allowed. It's a health concern here!

Does anyone else have a problem with co-workers and stinky food?

Actually the owner of the company I work for did outlaw microwave popcorn in the office. He hates any strong smells and he especially hates microwave popcorn. Apparently somebody burnt some popcorn a few years back and things have never been the same.

Popcorn, cooked properly, smells fantastic.

If we dropped burnt popcorn on Osama Bin Laden's hiding place he would probably surrender.

Lol...Well..About half my friends are Filipino and they dont eat any of that...All I have been 'given' was raw fish.

What about people who don't leave their desks for lunch, but rely on the microwave (or sandwiches)? Should they just not eat?

Yeppers. This is what was done in cave days before the microwave. We brought sandwiches. or some brought soup in thermoses.

James Herriot aw:

James Herriot grew up in Glasgow and qualified as a veterinary surgeon at Glasgow Veterinary College. Shortly afterwards he took up a position as an assistant in a North Yorkshire practice where he remained, with the exception of his wartime service in the RAF.

His stories about his life as a vet have charmed and delighted millions of readers in the 30 years since his first book IF ONLY THEY COULD TALK was published in 1972. It was followed by IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO A VET, LET SLEEPING VETS LIE, VET IN HARNESS, VET IN A SPIN, EVERY LIVING THING and THE LORD GOD MADE THEM ALL.

All together his books have sold in excess of 15 million copies.

James Herriot is a pseudonym. He died in 1995.

It's not the popcorn smell I object to, it's the butter flavor cooking that absolutely turns my stomach.

We have a no microwave popcorn rule at work. No fish in the microwave either. And kimchee was outlawed last year after someone brought in a jar.

when i was living on campus at my first college, there were many times that the fire alarms would go off in the middle of the night due to people burning the popcorn-then the halls would stink for days...

we ended up just going down to the basement micro if we wanted to have popcorn!

I believe popcorn should be forbidden at my work: THE HOSPITAL!!!! I feel so sorry for our patients who haven't had anything to eat or drink in several hours. Then some idiot has to go and pop popcorn and the smell infiltrates the entire floor!
