What food sparks a good memory for you?

Whether it's a dish your Gran made, or something you've recently discovered; what food gives you that happy buzz?

Fresh out of the oven cakes!

My mom used to bake lots of cakes, pastries, cookies, pies, when we were little. So, whenever I bake something, the smell of the ingredients being mixed with my hands or baked in the oven, bring happy memories to my mind 😄

popcorn with butter 😄

lambingtons those bloody poofy woolly biscuits and sum prawns on the barbie

Ice cream. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside and shit.

homemade pasta sauce makes me think of Sundays at my Nanna and Nanno's house and chocolate chip cookies make me think of snow days - my mom would always build a fire in the fireplace and make us cookies and cocoa if school was cancelled because of snow.

My gran used to make the most amazing potato fritters ever. Thick cut potato slices deep fried in a batter she made herself.

Fattening as hell but damn they were tasty! I've had them since but no-one makes them like my gran did, so it always reminds me of her. 🙂

I would have to say my grandma's curry chicken. She makes the best best curry chicken, and every time I make it, it's not near as good as hers, but it definitely brings back wonderful memories.

Fewd. Also known as food.

I do enjoy curry, in any form


Especially Indian Curry. It sparks some family gathering memories. I would like to go to that joint again.

My mum is not a foodie nor a cook, so my memory is not awakened through aromas from the kitchen. Reason why I wish my mum had some Taurus (was a Taurus) or had some gene that spelt 'food' in her.

My other memory would be birthday cake, believe it or not. Perhaps the traditional buttercream cake, but if you ask me, I prefer fresh cream cakes anytime. Oh and blackforest too.. my mum's fave.

Tbh, there are loads of foods that spark good memories.. if not from the past, then the minute you get to taste them! 😄

Culinary skillz create olfactory memories!

Spica, you're making me crave aloo gobi. And samosas with mint sauce. Gah, I love Indian food. Too bad there's only 1 decent Indian restaurant nearby, and it's still a 25 minute drive.

It's worth it, push it, go get it one of these days.. it can last you a whole month.. memory wise..
I just had Briyani with curry today and I don't think I'd have it for another one and a half months or so! 😉

How lovely Grandmother-granddaughter activities/ memories..

push it, hope your Gran enjoyed it!
