What is it about comfort food that really
appeals to us? We just love the whole idea of it. It appeals to our
sentiments and makes us soft and nostalgic.
Sometimes it reminds us of
home. Sometimes it makes us feel like a child again. And sometimes it
makes us feel better on a bad day. The thing is, humans build powerful
relationships between sights, smells, sounds, textures… and memories. We
build mental relationships, connecting things that we relate in ways
that are meaningful to us.
That scent of aam panna that takes us
back to summery childhood days. We can actually scrunch up our eyes,
taste it so vividly; a melange of flavours that reminds us of leafy
verandas and vacation time.
