A bit of a thought
I was thinking a few days ago about how nice firewood smells when it burns.
Wonder if this is just through the association of fire with warmth and cooked foods or just a funny coincidence.
What if burning wood smelled like rotted mink poo -- I have smelled this (many people in our town have smelled this because of the Great Glacier Mink Poo Spill of 2007) and it is about as vile as you can imagine.
Would our brain re-wire itself over several generations to make this smell 'nice'
