I have always liked cafe au lait, done the traditional European way, with cinnamon and hot milk, served in and drunk from a bowl.
I just discovered Tim Horton's cafe au lait the other day. Although they serve it in a cup the flavor is exquisite, and it brings back many emotional memories for me because of people I have shared cafe au lait with in my past.
What foods or flavors bring back specific memories and emotions for you?

I honestly can't remember having cafe au lait. That sounds really good. There are no Tim Hortons here, or else I'd go there and have one.
I go ga-ga over Starbucks cinnamon dolce latte. I love anything cinnamony. I really enjoyed cinnamon all my life, and now I love coffee, and so I love the combination.
Cinnamon reminds me of the cinnamon rolls I loved so much as a kid.

I'm Canadian too, and I had no idea Tim Horton's started serving Cafe Au Lait. That sounds good, and I will definitely have to try it. Thanks so much for the tip. Since you're in Canada, have you ever tried the Cafe Latte at The Second Cup? I love that stuff! There is a Second Cup just up the street from my house, and I eat and drink there every day.

I'll do that. Our Second Cup is going to close for a week or two next month for renovations, and I'll need some place else to go for coffee. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not big on "flavoured" coffee, but if they can make good espresso and cafe au lait, without too much flavouring besides chocolate, I'll be very happy.

Gardinas bring excellent happy memories to me. Also, the smell of fresh brewing coffee.

For me, tomato soup brings back fond memories. Every day I would come home at lunch time for school, yes long ago we actually came home from school if we lived within walking distance and most of us did, and my mom would ALWAYS have tomato soup and either grilled cheese or Italian bread for me. On days SHE would think I should have a change I'd be so upset! LOL She finally came to grips with the fact that every day I wanted tomato soup and no I wasn't sick of it. To this day I love the stuff, although I must admit not every day of the week! LOL

Popcorn is a big one for me. Growing up, some of my best memories are of my Mom, my sister and I sitting around the table, playing cards. There was always a huge tub of freshly-popped popcorn in the center. To this day, I still love popcorn, probably because of those memories.
