What fruit do you think when you're in a good mood?

I just had a pineapple scent. How about you? :-)
 
My "feel good" scent is oranges. It doesn't hurt that I have orange juice with breakfast every morning!
👍
 
My sinuses are plugged up because of allergies...so does that mean I can't think right now? :? :D

Although I'm no expert in the olfactory science or psychiatric medicine, we could sefely assume that explains a lot of what's been going on with your posts; ******ic tendencies, and ****** of coherent logic, loss of ********, and the whole nine yards.

The nasal tract being so closely connected to the cerebral region notwithstanding, the multilayered cerebral membrane ensures your internal logical cycles an immunity to sinusoidal inflammation, hence allowing your secondary function of symbolic cognition to back up the breakdown in the primary nasal thought process in times of sinal obstruction.

In other words, you should be able to think up a good fruit regardless of your uncomfortable cluttering of the nose. If not, nothing else can save you. Good luck, den4!

Edit: Nice trick, den4. Your broca region seems intact from your last line of double entendre. But if that was not of your design but of random rambling as usual, I regret to pronounce that your case is a terminal one.

broca regions? Must be due to too much broccoli.....I'll have to cut down on that veggie...when you figure out what the trick was, let me in on it, since I have no idea what you are talking about.... LOL :D
 
Hmmm....I always liked the smell of peanut butter, but dang it, if it isn't a nut and not a fruit. Peanuts are in the peach family, so does that count?

Sure!
Nuts and seeds should be included if that's your favorite. :)
Tomatoes and melons should count, too.
Yam, potato, beans, and peas,
hamburgers, viennese, green eggs and ham!
These are a few of my favorite things~
Let's keep it to the un-animals, though!

Hmmm....isn't hamburger animal meat? Or, at least, partly....I'm not really that sure of what hamgurger is made of....

This is just a guess, but isn't the typical burger 70% onion with 30% ham to enhance the onion flavor?
For koshar burgers, you can switch the pork based ham with beef, I think.
By majority vote I hereby declare hamburger vegetable!

Anybody from Hamburg, Germany, for more insights into this mystery? :D

Hamburger has nothing to do with Hamburg... I read a report once which said where the name came from, but I forgot 😌

Thank you for the historically accuracy. I plan to dig up reliable material such as you are refering to. In the mean time, I had a burger today. I would have to say, it tasted like pulp. Stale beef can be so stiff and difficult to chew. I literally had to grind my jaw just to get in down my throat. Obviously, animal fiber is vastly inferior to vegetable fibe. What little that was left of the good old appetizing smell of a thick, fat, juicy burger is gone now. :(

My condolences, lexico. I'll think of you the next time I have a Whopper.

Hi, there, old buddie !

Today I heard the word Spring.
It brought to mind the fresh, moist scent of a fine day after the rain.
I imagined the sweet smell of earth rising from the ground laden with pine cones.
The memory was always there, but it took the word from a human voice to bring it out.
Now spring is the scent of spring that associates every detail in a bundle of senses; all the remaining bits from the past, together with the most recent word heard, the person who told it, the story of the pine cones, the surroundings, the thoughts, the expectant feelings for the rebirth of the new season.

When I smell the firewood, it always makes me want to go camping and makes me happy.

Sensual exaltation (part 1)

Spring

When it`s already spring (or soft summer) and qiute warm outside, rain leaves a sensual kaleidoscope after itself. And if it was with some thunder it`s even more intense, due to the refreshing ozone smell. Sky slowly clears up, sun pierces and tears clouds with its radiant beams, drawing shining arc of a rainbow.
Ground starts steaming and a soft scent of a new born grass washed by spring rain rises up. It is mixed with a touch of humid pine conelets and needles enveloped in aroma of a wood, crying with its thus. All tiny cells of your body absorb it sensing relaxing and gentle touch of a nature

Summer

After exausting heat of a summer, when even tree leaves wither under unmerciful sun strokes it is so healing to s窶榿弾nt a water. Jumping, murmuring waters of a river, touched with an aroma of ooze if it`s in plains, or clear sparkling coldness of a mountain spring; rustling, whispering salty and refreshing essence of the sea; calmness of lake and astonishig roar of the ocean. Water... sometimes almost odorless, sometimes overwhelming bouquet.
And, of course, smell of a tempest what chases the heat away and brings a winy flavour of a water drops glimming in the air, on the trees, on the grass and on the pavements
