Воспоминания о вкусах: как мозг хранит память о еде спустя десятилетия

The flavors you'll never forget 🇸🇪 This post is tagged as: In the early 2000s, I was a vegetarian for a couple of years, which was fairly undramatic. During these years, I was struck by the fact that I could remember how everything tasted. Even though I hadn't eaten a Christmas ham in two years, any shrimps or juicy pan steaks, the taste of them was still there. Later I read that the taste memory is one of the strongest we have, which was apparently evolutionarily important for the Stone Age people (and before that) to know if the food was spoiled or if something else was wrong. And it feels reasonable. When someone posted a picture on Threads that showed those red pills you got at the dental hygienist as a child (in my case in the 80's, don't know if they are still there) and that showed how well you brushed your teeth, with the comment "a taste that never disappears" - I soon realized how raw it was. that he had. Because even though I had forgotten that these even existed, I immediately remembered both the floury texture and how they tasted, even though I hadn't chewed any in about 40 years. A bit fascinating anyway, or what do you say? Do you also remember flavours from the past such as Garbage Pail Kids chewing gum, Fazer Emser and Salmiak Pastilles - even though you haven't eaten them for ages?
