There are some elements in the world that evoke the feeling of home, and happiness, and memories. Whether they are smells, sights, tastes, phrases, colors, sounds, or a sense that we are unaware of, they mentally take us away from where we currently are and where we wish we were or remember where we were.
For me, a lot of those are evoked by food. A nice warm batch of buttermilk fried pickles, a tall cold glass of 40% sugar 50% tea 10% ice, plain rice with butter - a little gross but it was my childhood, chocolate pound cake, chicken pot pie, cheese grits, cheese toast, a chocolate fudge sundae from Bruster's after a long hard day of first grade.
There are some tastes I will never forget no matter how long it has been.
