I am probably one of very very few ASR members to know what burning human flesh smells like. When I was a medical student, surgeons were using diathermy knives. This works by arcing electricity from a small point thus cutting flesh whilst sealing it at the same time so there is less bleeding. The smell is a savoury-sweet, a bit like cured ham. It was enough to put me off pork for quite some time.

Oh, I think there are plenty of us here who have smelled burning flesh. Spend enough time around a soldering iron and that whiff is unmistakable,
