As a child living in the north of England, I loved bilberry pie. Having lived in Wales most of my life, I have never seen bilberry pies here. I looked on the good old internet to find out about bilberries and found this <br /><br />"Bilberry Pie is a classic British pie loved throughout the North of England particularly in Yorkshire. <br />Bilberries are a delicious fruit found growing wild in the north and west of the British Isles on high ground. The season for them is very short between August and September. The raw fruits are a little acidic but when cooked with sugar become a delicious, deep-flavored fruit perfect for pies and for jams."Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-39054313603561315152012-06-27T21:44:29.814-05:002012-06-27T21:44:29.814-05:00My Grandma Martha made poppyseed and prune rolls. ...My Grandma Martha made poppyseed and prune rolls.

I am sure I do. I just can't remember right now.<br /><br />What about smells - do you pass somewhere and it reminds your of another time?<br /><br />Love,sandieChatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-33495537181637688642012-06-27T18:12:04.680-05:002012-06-27T18:12:04.680-05:00I definitely have a taste memory.

The smell alone was to die for. We only visited with my Italian grandmother one week every other year and we lived for her pizza. She would make them and freeze them for us and all she had to do was pull from the freezer and cook. I really miss that pizza.

Reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen in the summer when she was canning and freezing from the garden. Another smell memory is the smell of summer in the evening. Honeysuckle, mowed grass and that "smell" of humidity in the south. And, of course, the buzz of that pesky mosquito. I guess I completely changed the subject.Amy Burzesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603247185748005749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-13114242884988972502012-06-27T13:07:45.876-05:002012-06-27T13:07:45.876-05:00Can't say I have any tase memories....

And yet, how often do we experience it??? It's so, so rare. But it's fun to try, to keep tinkering (like Jenn with her grandma's mac 'n' cheese), because we remember even when we don't quite get it right. This is one way to keep our loved ones and our histories alive. I'm loving reading all the comments and memories!<br /><br />As for the saltenas - they're like a mix of pasty and picadillo, and sound fabulous! A labor of love, like making pierogi or tamales ....Yenta Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573241381406620036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-57880387821259265042012-06-27T09:58:24.366-05:002012-06-27T09:58:24.366-05:00I am so very excited you mentioned Guanojuato.

Mine never taste the same. Wow, a cup of red pepper in that recipe! <br /><br />Just caught up on your blog...loved the little clutch purses. Your Slovenly Peter reminded me of Mrs Piggle Wiggle. Did you get all the rain that hit Duluth? We experienced it traveling to my sister's cabin where they got over 4 inches. No damage though. The trip back to Cambridge was interesting too. Lots of road closures.Judy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591607125583963544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-77697678544747804332012-06-27T07:20:17.193-05:002012-06-27T07:20:17.193-05:00Love this post, Judy!

One of my biggest taste memories is of my grandmother's mac and cheese. Sounds silly because mac and cheese is so easy, but I've tried to recreate hers and it just never is exact.. it's like she had one little tiny secret ingredient she forgot to tell me about!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13976547731498214442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-7557003668536560962012-06-27T06:42:46.161-05:002012-06-27T06:42:46.161-05:00bob and I discuss "taste memories" a lot...bob and I discuss "taste memories" a lot. we both remember together what our mothers cooked, and how it tasted and the fact when we eat it now it does not compare to what we remember.<br />i believe it is because the pie crust had crisco in it the cakes had crisco in them, the fruit pies had fruit that was fresh picked not grown and shipped. one taste memory is the first time i ate pizza was at age 16 at my friend Madelines home. i thought it was devine. and it was the ones that come in a box and are made at home. <br />i also have Smell memories, i will smell something and say that is my grandmother Mommies smell. it is that powder that is still on some shelves, in a black and gold and white paisley round boxMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-12852367235080243902012-06-27T06:02:54.919-05:002012-06-27T06:02:54.919-05:00I don't think I've ever tasted these but c...I don't think I've ever tasted these but can definitely relate to the concept of taste memory.
