Olfactory is one of our powerful sensory that can evoke strong ethic or cultural emotion. The smell of Indian, Chinese or Continental cuisines certainly is much related to the color of the food along with the smell. The above plates (plates 12) show the typical color related to each of the cuisines. Each of the cuisines has very unique color because of the spices and the cooking process that would help the olfactory to evoke emotion (feeling). On the otherhand the stinking foul smell (plate 11) can similarly evoke extremely negative feeling that one may remember for days.

Taste has many emotional effects. The mother Tiger (plate 12) licking her cub shows the emotional affection while the taste of cuisines evokes nostalgic memories. Each time emotional feeling reacts through taste and olfactory. Naturally such emotional feeling is hard to quantify. Taste has very delicate sensory that relates to our affection as well as food. Unnatural color in food may create very negative feeing. Green colored inside the bread may cause very negative reaction (feeling).
