[Closed] Other than fried onions, what smells like fried onions?

On my ride earlier, on a quiet farm track through open farmland, a long way from any buildings,and without any obvious sight or sound of anyone camping, the aroma of fried onions wafted through the nostrils.

Was nearly at the end of the ride, and was getting a little bit Hank, so maybe it was an olfactory imagination, but it was clearly there, the very clear smell of fried onions.

I stopped, sniffed and looked around me, but no obvious sign of the source.

So, what could it have been?

Some people who don't shower frequently sometimes smell like onions...

Morning farts after eating a lot of fried onions.

I reckon it was James Martin doing a BBQ for his racing driver mate in the next farm.. he lives your way doesn’t he?

Or the local chicken farm...

Was ten miles or so for home, so wasn't them!

Obviously. It's impeccably clean, however.

They can be a sign of having a seizure.

But it's more likely to be onions, frying

from that link above

 In each film of Powell's this romantic urge sports a different livery- co-existing with the everyday and with an only mildly pusillanimous humour - the Heavenly Messenger is always heralded by the smell of fried onions

The elevators at my workplace always seem to smell of fried onions.
