Memory flashback

So I went to the fridge for ingredients to make an omelet and there was a bowl of grapes. So I grabbed a couple and as soon as I bit into them I had an instant flask back about 45 years of when I was very young sitting on the porch in the morning eating grapes.
Was a good memory.

What food or smell has brought back a childhood memory?

My folks owned a dairy when I was a kid and mom baked bread all the time. When i smell bread baking it takes me back almost 60 years to when we lived on the farm.

Chicken frying - My grand mother made the absolute best fried chicken every Sunday she was alive!

The Mrs. Baird's bread bakery on the freeway in Fort Worth smelled incredible. Would get hungry every time I passed it.

Sometimes I have flashbacks that come to me in bits and pieces for a few days after the event. Well, that’s a different story.


Homemade bread as well. Traveling with it in the car in the 70s going to thanksgiving 64 miles away. Did it many times.

I remember that well...………..
My dad would always slow down, when we hit the tunnel...……..

My uncle was in the maintenance department in the Abilene Baird's Bakery, it was about 2 miles from our house. Made many a bicycle trip there for fried pies and rolls.

Coming home from school and the whole house smelling so good from a brisket in the oven that mom had been cooking all day

I toured the Abilene bakery back in about 1975 when I was in the (IIRC) third grade at Clyde. Something about fresh break and a slab of butter reminds me of that every time.

A manure spreader - When following one, tis tough seperating the from the rest of the crap...
