Why do some foods smell so good when neighbor cooks?

Grass is greener on the other side.

because all the smells intertwine when they cook and smell good. it's not hard to make food smell good. it's harder to make food taste good.

my neighbors are full chinese i believe doubt they came from America but their house is a total pig sty. theirs crap they bring home from work all over their front yard and back yard and it's all broken things like tables, fridge, washing machines,etc.. but from time to time when they are cooking it smells really good. but i highly doubt it tastes that good. why? just walk infront of their door step and you will understand why theirs craps everywhere including dead plants/animals decaying like fish. Im sure they don't shop at a real grocery store either but the local china town and everyone in my state knows the china town isn;t very good for groceries as it's been known to carry rats and it isn't even that tasty.

that being said don't let the smells fool you.

My cooking smells amazing too. It's the taste that's always the problem...

May be they are using organic vegetable during cooking. As the test and smell of organic one is much better than the inorganic one.

Kyon ki ghar ki murgi daal barabarr. aur unka khana jada aacha lagta hai.

Buddy Because they love to make you hungry ....next go and eat all that yummy food from their kitchen ..lol :p

Because always stolen mangoes are much tastier than bought one , thats the simple psychology behind that ....

It makes us hungry from the smell. I know it can do it to me.

it's a true sign that you're hungry and you have no food in the refrigerator,buddy.

:(

Maybe they are a better cook. :)

Because, it stimulate our appetite so that we can recall good taste.
