I am wondering if the sense of smell might be keener than taste in infants so
even great smells from the kitchen could be creating food memories that could
come in handly later when they can also taste and the brain goes "Ding! Ding!
Ding! I remember that aroma and it even TASTES great too!"

Or not,
