I read once that a noted physcologist said that most foods we are really partial to are "Good time" foods. They say we develop an association with good times and certain foods when we are kids. One such food mentioned in this study was watermelon. What are your good time foods and can you find a mental picture of one such time from childhood?
The most outstanding good time memory was of making boiled custard ice cream. This was the old hand cranked ice cream maker that really comes to mind. I remember as a very young child, after my father cranked what seem like forever , him saying I think it is ready now. I wanted to know how he knew it was ready, and he told me to crank the handle. I remember as hard as I tried I could not turn the handle, that he was turning so easily. That Ice Cream was the best.
