for me, it was my gran's bread. She had a wood-fired oven and everything out of it tasted wonderful. It was from her (my mum's mother) that I got my love of cooking. I was moaning the other day how mothing seems to taste the way it used to - take swede for example. I 'pinched' a cube of raw swede while I was making some pasties, swede used to be hott-ish, mustardy and sweet - this one tasted of practically nothing! I was going to go in Gardening and ask somebody to suggest a tasty swede, but I know some wag will say Bjorn Borg, or one of the blokes out of Abba...

Cold roast chicken butties when I was recovering from illness.She always used to shop in the greengrocers,butchers,bakers etc so bought good quality stuff all the time and it all tasted yum,even if it was very basic(no roasties with a roast!!!)
Back then food tasted much nicer-mind you I always find that when someone else cooks!

.....and while I'm on the subject! When we used to have a full breakfast on a Sunday, after it was all dished up, my Gran would come round wth a frying pan and ask who wanted sime. I think perhaps sime is a Welsh word, but it was the fat that came out of the bacon and had had everything else fried in it too. LOVELY - not like the watery bacon we get these days!
