Food stories from the resthome (1 of 2): Odd smell.

The other week at the resthome, I came into the office to start my shift, and there was a lot of food out that was left over from some lunch that people were putting away, and underneath that major food smell was a slightly odd stomach-turning smell, kind of a bit like vomit.

I mentioned it, but no-one else could smell it.

Later, I realized that it was under-ripe honey dew melon on the fruit tray.

If you ever smell under-ripe honey dew melon, it kind of smells like vomit.
