Good morning!

'Camp' coffee was/is a liquid instant coffee in a bottle (it looks a bit like HP sauce?). I had a quick google of it this morning actually - it's still available on Amazon!! Goodness knows how old those bottles are...

This thread brought tears to my eyes! Turkey dinner - Dad, lost my dad (and the greatest turkey dinners ever) a couple years ago, he was the family cook...he made a stuffing that we all try to replicate...we can't - God I miss my Dad...!

Also, the smell of pork sausages takes me back to my first apartment, pregnant...still can't eat those little buggers today..

Sorry about your Dad

Pork sausages I just found out about a sausage making company/restaurant here in Sarasota that I need to try

When I was pre-school, I thought there was not better smell than vanilla ice cream. That was in the 1940's and I can still smell it today. They just don't make ice cream today like they use to. Off the food smell subject, my favorite smell was my patent leather shoes my grandmother (who raised me) would only let me wear to church. Patent leather just doesn't smell the same as they did back then either.

Ummmm...it was!! There wasn't much choice back then though...actually it didn't even smell like coffee - it just smelt like, well, sweet........an unmistakable/unforgettable smell though

But then again, I don;t drink coffee at all!

Ha ha - I know you don't (oh I so wish I could have send my 'original' box.... !!!)

I think flavours used to be more 'natural' - there wasn't all the pretendy stuff around then....even in the 50's My mum used to make Cornish Clotted Cream which used to smell very similar to your best memory...I think I should start getting into doing that, it's so easy, if time consuming... Smells are so evocative aren't they - they can bring up so many memories - good and bad.... x

Every time I smell a bologna sandwich, not a freshly made sandwich, but one that has sat in a bag getting somewhat warm, it immediately takes me back to elementary school. I can't help but smile when I smell that smell....

That's very interesting. What exactly is Cornish Clotted Cream? Can I come over and have some too?
