Time Travel Back to the Flavors of 1960s, 1950s, 1940s
I used to waste a lot of time wishing that I could recapture the intense flavors and scents that I appreciated as a child of the 50s and 60s, figuring that my senses have aged and dimmed. LIAR! It's not true for the most part.
How did I find out? I decided to sign on for home delivery of organic veggies and fruits biweekly. It's very reasonable. Imagine my astonishment when I realized that grapes now taste like grapes! Bananas taste like I was ten years old again. All the intensity of "real" flavors is like time-traveling back to my youth. I nearly cried with delight.
I'm not flying in the face of ordinary sensory aging that tells us that as we seniorize our 5 senses dim out somewhat. What I notice with my friends is that it is more obvious in one sense than the other ones. Hearing will become less focused but your sense of smell is still great OR you need cataract surgery but you can hear a fly land in the next room. For me it seems to be the sense of smell and taste that are less intense than I would wish them to be; however, organic foods really bring back the memories and flavors I have been sorely missing for nearly fifty years of grocery-store shopping.
For a beautiful and nostalgic trip through bygone decades, try organic food. You'll love the memories.
