is the odor of cabbage a British idiom? Reading Jodi Taylor’s Chronicles of St Mary’s the time travel pods smell like boiled cabbage regardless of how new or used they are. Is it something like an institutional smell there? now I’m wondering what ubiquitous smell in the US would be
Yes, it’s absolutely a stereotypical institutional smell here. Schools, council buildings, care homes etc. I suppose vegetables boiled in bulk end up smelling of cabbage!
