Cornish pasties, the ones my father used to make when I was a child, were the one thing I craved while carrying my first child. Something in the taste of ground beef, sliced potato, and onion, wrapped in a flaky crust and seasoned just right, called to me.
Except my father had long since misplaced the recipe, and so he tried satisfying me with mass produced versions sold through Marks and Spencers, and when that didn’t work, he tried his hand at recreating the original from memory.
Nothing came close to my recall of blowing on piping hot pie fresh from the oven, and the satisfaction of that first hearty bite.
Funny that, as I never really like my father’s cooking. So why that particular dish, and why then?
Taste is the focus this week. As you might have guessed, I am tugging at our sensory experience with these current challenges, although the word ‘taste’ has other connotations.
Look forward to your responses. Anyone can join in, and all forms of creativity are welcome.

Immediately I thought of all those poor people with Covid-19 who have lost their ability to taste! For me personally, I have issues with grains and for that reason I miss tasting breads! Anyways, thanks for the prompt, I’ve once again managed to go into a weird direction with mine. 😉 https://iwriteher.com/2020/08/10/trippin/

You always surprise me. I have to avoid wheat/ gluten, so know what you mean about missing the taste of bread.

That’s a good thing then! 😉 Sometimes I still break down and eat it, but then I have to deal with the consequences.

Another sense to ponder upon. 🙂 For me, I miss my mother’s cabbage rolls and perogies. Nothing has come close to her rendition of these Ukrainian delights.

My husband and I were just saying the other day that we can’t remember the last time we had cabbage rolls.
