Why do you smell food cooking when no one is cooking?

Answer 1

I believe mine is paranormal.

Mom used to broil a steak in our oven, when I was growing up.

It had a very distinct smell, and it was heavenly!

I've also had the sensation, of being in my bedroom, and it filled with the scent of dozens of fresh roses!!!

I sat here yesterday, and just enjoyed that smell, and enjoyed the memory of her 🤗

I lost her at 45, I was 19.

Most people don't smell food when no one is cooking. However, I found this a curious subject, so after extensive research I have found the answer. There is a rare condition that occurs in one of every 200 people called "nasalphrenia". This condition is like schizophrenia for your nose. It causes you to smell things that aren't there and often mistake one smell for another. Although rarely fatal, this condition can have a very negative impact on your life, so I encourage you to seek help immediately.

The human nose can smell food cooking, however, there are distance situations that impede its sense of smell. Also nasal colds can at times cause the sense of smell to be curtailed. Generally speaking, animals have a better sense of smell then humans. Dogs are a primary example of this.
