Eating Smoked Meat Like Watching a Fire

For me, the pleasure I get from eating smoked foods is similar to what I get when I'm watching a campfire. It's like it brings back some long forgotten memory, some feeling from way back in the past.

Maybe it's some kind of genetic knowledge, learned from countless generations sitting in groups around fires, eating foods (smokey foods) cooked over those fires. And maybe the memories of the fires, the smokey food, and the togetherness are seated deeply in our genetic makeup. And maybe that's why smoked foods are so satisfying to eat.
