Matter of Taste

Somebody asked me today how does my home taste like. And even though she wanted to know what we usually eat for dinner, it made me think for a little while. So there is an answer: my home has a flavor of my mom’s yeast cake and stewed cherries. And homemade smoked sausages. Oh, and “the doves” obviously (but just from time to time, for Very Special Occasions!).
I do not know much about yours’ homes, but as for me your countries taste as well, Australia with Kate’s damper, the US with a bread pudding with raspberries, Spain with amazing egg & potatoes omelet and lemon thingy, Denmark with this fishy something in the shape of crockets, Germany- potatoes salad, Lithuania with smoked pigs’ ears, Portugal- spinach, Romania- boiled cabbage, Italy- Pasta (quite obvious, but one Sardinian girl showed me that there are at least 239 ways of preparing and 154 ways of consuming it!), England- doughnuts ( yes, in plural, one is not sufficient!).
