Ah! The smell of food...

What I love most about food is the right smell...

smell of freshness, of being well-cooked, of having the right amount of salt and so on...

I identify places in Mumbai (as I grew up there)by the smells they emanate...For example,passing by Muhammad Ali Road and over the JJ Flyover always, to me, has smelt of kebabs during ID...

Similarly, Dadar, apart from smelling of flowers has always had a particular 'masala' and 'spices' smell...also of Batata Vadas...

Bandra Linking Road has this wonderful smell of fish being fried at a stall...something that has become a landmark to me...

How about sharing your 'smells' and memories of them?
Cheers!
