Neighbourhood food concept arises as different smells reach a stranger when she or he walks in a neighbourhood, just like Synikismos. We all are fascinated by different recipes, smells, spices that we simply know without wondering where they come from. How did they arrive? Who brought them? Who keeps them alive? Why having food that makes us feel good is so important? Because favourite food brings back unique memories. Because taste has memory.
