5 herb pesto is nice
An entire jar, drunkenly applied to the last handful of pasta left in the cupboard, less so...

I'm fine as long as it doesn't have basil in it
For some reason the smell of basil makes me retch.

Drunken pesto eating never goes well! Stick to chips :P

Pesto without basil?
That's just oil and a pine nut isn't it?

Try waitrose fresh fancy one. It's miles better than the cheap shit in a jar.

It's no good
I can't be in the same room as someone eating it. Some idiot has decided to start putting it in plane meals, that's no fun for me at all! My friend reckons I have a smell receptor missing which means I can't smell it properly cos when she waves the strong sulphur compounds under my nose in the lab everyone else starts gagging and I can barely smell the stuff!

I think that may be...
substance abuse?

Ha! I wish!
No, I'm just a chemistry student with a poor sense of smell and no life! :p

Do you get smelling assistance in marked practicals?
Had a friend who needed it for his A-Levels due to burning his nose out doing some experiments at home (no substance abuse, but probably came under some form or explosives law knowing him...), had half the class carefully listening out for what the teacher said so we could compare it to the table of test results we all had with us (the best thing to bring into an open book exam is the syllabus telling you exactly which tests they can ask you about and giving you all the details they can ask)

That's hilarious!
Home made explosives have to be the best ;) No, sadly I'm at the stage where you shouldn't really be smelling stuff in case it kills you, all good fun! In fact there are only 2 exams left between me and my degree, hence me being on here, talking about pesto...
