Mood food
Is it a surprise that men are more sensible about their comfort food than women? There exists a real mood-food connection. When we are sad, we want immediate euphoria, and what better way to do that than with hot buttered popcorn?
On the other hand, when people are relatively content and just want to retain their good mood, grapes may just be fine with them. Meanwhile, a distinct divide exists between the sexes when it comes to comfort food. Men crave for meal-related food while women crave for snack-related goodies.
The mind plays an important role in our eating habits. Thus a great chef creates his dishes likes an artist at a canvas - to entice the mind of the diner.
Today a deal of great importance is given to food presentation. In gourmet schools, many hours are spent on the presentation and food styling. Besides taste, it is the packaging that sells a particular product.
Globalization in the food industry: Different cuisines and attractive food styling have greatly influenced us here in India. And why not? Every one wants to see a beautifully crafted dish!
