Something you remember from your childhood. You my have eaten it when
you came into the kitchen after playing outside and you were really
hungry. Or, someone you really loved, a grandmother or favorite aunt
made something very special for you, something that, perhaps, you never
tasted before. That first bite, the unexpected wonderful taste will
remain in your memory, but the food, the taste itself, can never be
duplicated for you.
Many years ago, a little three year old girl came to stay with me for a
couple of hours, while her mother needed emergency attention for a
tooth.
Sarah had never seen a Mango before and when she wanted a snack, I
offered to cut up a Mango that was ripening on the kitchen window sill.
She tasted it. She loved it. When her mother came to pick her up,
Sarah told her all about the wonderous snack I had provided for her.
Mangoes were still rarely seen in New York at that time, and Sarah's
mother had never tasted one. "What did it taste like", she wanted to
know and the little girl, smiling happily said: "It was sooo good. It
tasted just like Sunshine".
Not too long ago, Sarah saw me. She came over to say "hello" to me.
She is a teen ager now. She introduced me to a friend of hers and
said: "Margaret gave me the best thing I ever tasted when I came to
visit her as a little girl. I have eaten many Mangoes since then, but
none tasted anything like the one I had in her kitchen."
