Vinegar yes. Celery and watermelon no. Though I can remember the sensation of eating both. And I could identify any of them blindfolded. Actually, I'm very good at tasting a dish and telling you what is was spiced with and reproducing it in my own kitchen later. But I can't relive the taste.
Can you relive tastes?
I'm thinking taste and smell might be stored differently than sight and hearing. Like the ability to do certain physical tasks like riding a bike or typing without being about to mentally run through all the steps.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
