I get it often, as sort of a psychic thing. It's not necessarily, actually seldom, food though.
Usually I will pick up a particular scent and I know, from it, that something is about to happen. It's usually like somebody calling me or sometimes if I'm on the phone with somebody I will suddenly smell something that turns out to be relative to what they're doing (e.g. smoking or eating something) on the other end of the phone.
I was once talking to a friend on the phone and all of a sudden I smelled cigarette smoke. I didn't know he smoked because he didn't want me to know he smoked but, apparently, he had just lit up and I smelled it. Busted.

I smelled propane all afternoon and we did not use propane. Found out a few days later that I was pregnant!

Once in a great while I'll smell bacon cooking late at night and of course no one is cooking anything. But my Mom used to make a few slices of bacon late at night when I was a kid and put them in a piece of bread. It would actually wake me up (smelled SO good!). What I smell is very faint and it also wakes me up once in awhile.

I once read that this is one way that loved ones that have passed on let you know they're nearby and watching over you.
I don't know if that's true, but it's sort of comforting to think so. I'll keep an open mind.

I am not a Doctor, nor offering any medical advise BUT... I have heard smelling certain foods could be the sign of illness or stroke. Like many people before having a stroke have said they smelled burning toast.
Also, some smells can be activated by the sight of something in your subconscious. I am super sensitive to smells. I know sometimes the thought of a certain person conjurs up a scent. Don't know why. But it happens.
