A Question About Memory

[Jenny A]

I wouldn't know, at least not the way you're asking.   I can remember, and long for, and pine for a cheap greek wine I had in Germany /w my ex wife.  That was more than a decade ago now.  What I couldn't tell you was whether or not the wine tastes as I remember it...that might just be the dry, cheeck-puckering taste of misery.

I don't know how to put it plainer.  It's not a question of memory accuracy but how you remember.  Are you remembering words describing a taste or an actual taste sensation?  For me with taste and smell it's usually just a description I remember, like Evie describes remembering sights.

But I bet that just like I recognize tastes I've had before, Evie recognizing faces and places seen before.
