The topic of this thesis was Food craving: Emotional consumption of food. The initial part of the paper contains a theoretical part in which we got acquainted with the symbolic, social and emotional significance of food and nutrition, and we discussed two theoretical approaches and food through different meanings. After that, we talked about the development and definition of the concept of comfort food, after which we made presentations of various researches. Then, all methodological aspects of the research were listed. In our research, we decided to use a quality methodology, more precisely the semi-structured interview method, which was accessed by twenty participants. The interviews were conducted in the period from the beginning of June to the beginning of September 2022, and all the conversations were transcribed and can be found in the Appendix chapter. Through this research, we discovered that most participants experienced a craving for comfort food even though they did not feel physically hungry at all. At the same time, the majority of participants completely distinguished between the concepts of craving and physical hunger, their characteristics and the feelings associated with them. Also, the majority of participants generally experienced cravings more often when they were under the influence of negative emotions, and the majority, although they feel good during the eating the food they were craving, also feel guilty shortly after eating, most often due to exaggeration in the amount or type and the quality of the food they consumed. The obtained results imply that food plays a central role in our lives, contains a multitude of meanings and has physical, psychological and emotional effects.
