食欲の秋 – Autumn Appetite

Japanese people say they have “autumn appetite.”  It means that you feel hungrier in the fall than in any other season.  This could be from the fact that many crops are harvested in the fall so that food is abundant then, and also the fact that people recover their appetites once the summer heat has ended and their bodies begin to prepare for the cold winter ahead.  I have noticed that I have been putting up many food posts recently, but that must be quite normal for this season.
