Just curious

Tai and I were sniffing a bag of poppyseed bagels trying to figure out if they'd gone off yet. They smelled bagely, which is always a bit sour.
"And poppyseed smell," said I.
"Poppyseeds don't have a smell," said Tai.
"They do to me," said I.
We looked at each other.

So!

Spose I could always open up the bag in the cabinet since forever and stick my nose in *snrrrk*

Keep in mind of course that 1) my sense of smell sucks 2) yours is overdeveloped in the other direction ~

I can tell you it did have a smell to me when we first got it, but since the bag is stubborn about closing, I think it's mostly gone stale.

And also, these are two true facts. I just wonder. :3

I have never given it much thought, in that whenever I have seen a poppyseed bagel, it was from a distance and I did not nom it, sir.

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

:o Whyfor? Do you not like bagels?

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

I like... plain bagels. But I don't go out of my way to eat them, no. If there are English muffins and bagels offered at the same time, this kiff will nom the muffin.

I do, however, love bagel chips, specifically the garlic ones. I have eaten an entire bag at once. I learned that this was a mistake. XD

OMG, it has been years since I saw bagel chips on offer anywhere. ;o;

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Should I include them in the next Box o' Stuff, sir?

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

Sure!

You know, last night it occurred to me that Volstagg is basically walking appetites. He hungers for food, for battle, and for love. Most Asgardians do, I'm sure. He just does much more obviously, and, well, just more in general. XD

Wasn't sure what to answer with as I think I can. I am trying to recall what they smell like and I have a scent in mind. But I never really thought about it?

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

XD Well, next time you have the opportunity, come on back?

In my experience they smell slightly musty. I have to be NEAR them, and it's not like if I walked into a room that smelled of them the first thing I would think would be "poppyseeds!" But poppyseeds in the absence of smell would seem odd and disconcerting.

I find the smell of them really difficult to describe, although I suppose "musty" could be a part of it. They just smell like poppyseeds.
