There are plenty of foods that bring back special memories for me, especially if I ate them with people that are/were important to me. One that I remember very fondly would be rolled ice cream, because my nephews and I went to a rolled ice cream shop for the first time together in February 2019, and before the place opened, I had always wanted to try rolled ice cream.
Anyone have any foods that bring back special memories? @Foodies
There used to be many foods that bring back special memories for me but now I can’t really think of any anymore They were special because of the people I ate them with or because of the people whose favourite foods they were.
Hmm, eating Thai food always brings back a lot of memories to the amazing holiday I had there In general I am pretty nostalgic about food, but that’s the biggest one.
Parcha/Passion Fruit: Summers picking them off vines in Puerto Rico.
Oranges/Mandarins: My grandmother feeding me segments of them.
Casaba: My indigenous heritage, and the realization that Caribbeans from other areas share a lot more in culture than they differ.
Cheesecake with chocolate nuggets in them: My oldest sister’s presence back when she lived nearby.
Donut holes: My middle sister’s presence back when she lived nearby.
Fried sweet potato slices: One of the few foods my father cooks himself, and rather well. One of the most delicious ways to heat sweet potatoes.
Sweet potato with toasted marshmallow topping: My godsister, who actually lived with us for a few years while she tried to get back on her feet.
Steak and Onions: My mom’s secret recipe, which she only passed on to me, the only person in the family who can’t eat red meat. The irony kills me.
@CrazyCaliope I know the sweet potato casserole with cinnamon sugar and marshmallows sounds weird, but it’s ridiculously tasty. I’m going to miss not being able to eat it this Thanksgiving.
