Some food, some smell, some music, some view, someone, some thing. These are easily connected to our memories. As for me, some food frequently does it. When I taste it, I am instantly drawn into the past and start reminiscing every moment of it.
This dish, bitter gourd & eggplant nimono, reminds me of my grandmother. She used to make this dish almost every other day in summer. As a kid, I was honestly tired of eating it because this dish was very bitter like a medicine for kids and I didn’t know why a vegetable should be so bitter instead of being delicious. But now, I, who know how nutritious bitter gourd is, love it very much.
