I found this lovely little tray of gooseberries in the local fruit and veg shop the other day. I haven’t tasted a gooseberry since I was a child. I don’t know why I haven’t eaten any for all those decades, but the first taste of one took me right back. We had gooseberries in the garden of the house where I was born and I looked forward to eating them every year. We had mainly green ones, which are more sour than these red ones, but we did have bushes of red ones too.
What takes you back? Which sensations bring back memories for you? Are there any tastes which do it? How about smells? Or sounds? I don’t think our brains are all the same. There’s no doubt that some people are more sensitive to sounds than smells, or to tastes or whatever than others. Which sensations are most provocative for you?

The sound of cicadas on a summer day takes me back. The smell of lilacs also. And, the taste of homegrown tomatoes. So, all three senses can take me back, depending. *smile*
