Why the Prasad is 'Prasad'...

GANAPATI BAPPA morya,

This thought has come down as an enlightenment in this most auspicious of seasons, the thought of how an 'Ukdi cha Modak' can taste so good , so very good , with a healthy dollop of 'Toop'...........wait I have to concentrate to progress , nothing can get better or  gets even close.

'Prasad' in meaning, is the food that you get when the LORD is pleased with you and your efforts at leading life rightly , this leaves me in no suspense as why the 'Modak' tastes the way it does , it is exquisite .

Many thoughts come to mind, when I think of the' Modak'   or 'SATYANARAYAN' cha Prasad namely 'Shira' , these delicacies are rarely made when there aren't any religious festivities or prayers  and even if there are made , you would agree that they dont taste as good on the contrary they are far off in taste but come GANESH Chaturthi or SHRI SATYANARAYAN Puja , these foods make you feel blessed in every sense of the word .
I am not sure when as in how long ago these recipes came into being , eons ago I suppose but I am sure that these have come from the LORD himself as I can offer no other explanations for its class, or why they are heavenly and simply divine.................'just thoughts'.
