The thought of Melbourne brunches filled Hamish with noshtalgia

Noshtalgia

An aching or yearning triggered by a rediscovery of a once-loved foodstuff. From, 'Nosh' (vulgar term for food) and 'algia' (ache or pain).

I was struck with noshtalgia when a fleeting fishy whiff as my girlfriend walked past took me back to favourite school snack of Scampi Nik-Naks.!
