How closely do we associate food smells with particular memories? I was thinking about this topic today because an old memory from childhood resurfaced. As a child we traveled quite a few times, and since some of those trips were by chartered bus we ate in a lot of late 70s/80s restaurant/diner places. No matter if it was CA, FL, or NJ they always smelled the same; a combination of brewed coffee and butter. Does anyone remember the little butter patties that were in foil to put on bread? Do restaurants still offer those butters?
Sadly, even in this age of multiple coffee places I haven't smelled that particular scent in decades. Does anyone else have food scent memories?
