Why do 'feel like home' is often used in describing food!!

Today , when I was reading my friend's blog, which filled my mouth with temptations, she was mentioning how every dish she enjoyed was feeling homely, comforting and satisfied. We all would have seen this dialogue commonly in movies saying nothing could be equalised to our home food. Not only in movies, if you go asking people who are away from their home what they miss the most, the first would be their home food. 

The food that is prepared at home will not only fill our tummy but also fill our hearts. A simple sambar, rasam without any decorations and plattering will be placed in front of us. The menu may be simple but it is for sure filled with the love of the person who cooked for us. We only pay them back by giving an appreciation for their tiring work sometimes which may not be shared through words but definitely a bond with pure love would be shared between the both. 

The pleasure that we get in eating along with our family after everything is done cooking , we all dine together with smiles, discussions and small fights for that last Vadai or appalam ( papad). That we get only from our home food. 

Food prepared at home is delicious multiple times because every dish present on the plate is not only eaten for hunger but also for proper nutrients and health. My point is not that hotel foods are not delicious and good. They are good to taste but stay as a substitute for the eaters and a means of work for the chefs. The hotel food will also be done with the same ingredients that we add at home but there always lies a difference between these two. Hotel food is a nice option for us when things that cannot be easily made at home, which takes time and work, which are new to us  like international cuisines can be tasted. 

At home, every dish will have the basic ingredients added along with a traditional and authentic taste that makes us eat a lot when compared to restaurant food. Whatever I eat, nothing can replace my Avva's rasam which is a  gift of God. I only eat more when my Avva cooks and when she places in my plate. 

Home food is always delicious and is a feel good factor.
