Does methionine smell?

For the record, fresh powdered methionine that is used in pharmaceutical labs smells like fried food -quite strongly too. The next person in the lab can always tell what's been going on because the place temporarily smells like McDonalds :P

I'm not sure but you may have just set a record by replying to a 24 year old posting. LOL

My doc prescribed me L-methionine pills (Acimethin in Germany) and
they have a quite strong H2S-like smell, even through the sugar coating.
As I understand it, methionine is a sulphur-containing amino acid.
Is it normal that this stuff smells or could it be that it does
when it gets older?
Thanks,

In my experience Fmoc- protected Methionine solution in DMF smells remarkably like McDonald's french fries
