When I was working on my mole sauce this weekend, I toasted some sesame seeds and tossed them, still hot, into the food processor with some roasted peanuts. As I worked on grinding them up, the smell of fried bacon began to fill the air!? The smell was so convincing, Gina asked me if I was cooking some bacon. She has synasthesia, and gets a visual component with smells. She'll see various colored geometric shapes with different aromas. She was getting the same one she would see with bacon. Very odd.
There is a new bacon-flavored mayo-type spread out there that is vegetarian-friendly. Do you suppose...?
It was so redolent of bacon... strange and stranger! LOL The mole was dee-scrumptious though...
