There's a bad smell all through the house, and it's coming from mum's partner's flatulence. He never hesitates to complain about the smell of my cooking or of mum's aromatic oils, but he's in a class of his own when it comes to creating a stink. There's the sickly-sweet burnt-feathers smell of his farts, the butyric acid smell of his acid reflux and the cigar smoke smell that follows him around wherever he goes, but by far the worst is the terrible stench when he smothers his food in Worcestershire sauce and white pepper. Worcestershire sauce contains vinegar, garlic, anchovies, cloves, soy sauce and various other things, and the smell is revolting and incredibly strong when he combines it with pepper and a steaming plate of scrambled eggs and baked beans in tomato sauce or something similar, followed of course by acid reflux and flatulence.
