The vocabulary of missing feelings: Nostromia
Nostromia=nostalgia of a gastronomic nature. That sudden and somewhat unexplained urge to eat something one has eaten in the past. Example: as I was driving back home, after bringing my child to his kindergarten, I found myself suddenly wishing to eat a nice Middle Eastern Taco. It was quite early in the morning and there was no external logical incentive for this nostromia. Maybe it was this flu I was suffering from, that caused my immune system to broadcast a "we need protein and fats, quick! on double !" to my aware mind ? or was it the non-stopping rain that caused me to wish for a quick meal that makes one warm and fuzzy ? One way or another, this wave of Nostromia was too strong for me, and I found myself driving around, seeking a place to satisfy my nostromia. Sadly, I did not find one, and headed home. Having a morning ruled by an unsatisfied nostromia is no fun. Happily, now it is noon, restaurants and fast food places are opened, and here I go ! This image...
