          • Definition(s)
            • Certain foods provide a sentimental effect when they are consumed. Comfort foods make us feel good because of the meaning that we give them. We associate dishes with a family member, a significant person, a suggestive moment that we lived, and we tend to “use” food to find the scent of this or that experience again. Comfort food is linked to a personal feeling but also a cultural and historical one. It depends on the ingredients and the habits that we grew up with, in a specific country at a particular historical moment; it shapes our identity. TermCoord
