   A bizarre neighborhood dispute has erupted in Perth’s northern suburbs.   
      
   And it’s over the smell of food …   
      
   On behalf of their vegan family members, a Burns Beach resident has   
   written to their neighbor asking they close their window when cooking   
   their “sickening” meat — PerthNow reports.   
      
   The upset writer presented the letter with “PLEASE TAKE SERIOUSLY” written   
   on the front of the envelope containing the request.   
      
   The letter submitted to Hey Perth on Facebook begins: “Hello neighbor,   
   could you please shut your side window when cooking?”   
      
   “My family is vegan — we eat only plant-based foods — and the smell of the   
   meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset.”   
      
   “We would appreciate your understanding — thanks. Sarah, Wayne, and kids.”   
      
   The letter has garnered hundreds of reactions from users on Facebook,   
   primarily dumbfounded by what they’ve read.   
      
   “I bet her mouth starts watering when old mate mows his lawn and she gets   
   a whiff of that deliciously fresh cut grass but!” one user wrote.   
      
   “I’m offended by the smell of the kale she always cooks,” another wrote.   
      
   Others said it was time to get their BBQs out despite the letter.   
      
   “Oh, man … I’d be firing up the bbq and inviting the entire street,” one   
   said.   
      
   “I would fire up the smoker and do a 12-hour brisket, with a sausage   
   sizzle for lunch thrown in — entitled much,” said another.
