I heard bananas don't taste like bananas used to because they are a different variety than what existed back when artificial banana flavors were invented (saw it on youtube, it must be true). That means I know what modern bananas taste like and what a chemist said was "close enough" to what a prior banana was supposed to taste like. I'd go find one of these bananas and eat one.
Same with root beer. It doesn't have the stuff in it that used to make it root beer. Something about cancer and lab rats. How do we even know it tastes like root beer now? Drinking a real root beer.
Visit the Minoans. They seem to have their act together. Not much war, lots of trade, indoor plumbing and toilets, organized sports. If you had to live in the bronze age, those were the folks to live with. I'd spend a week there. Or two. I might like it and stay. I'm very curious if they had decent food.
My grandfather on my mother's side. I never got to meet either of my grandfathers and only met one grandmother. But this one has always been kind of a mystery to me. He was an interesting guy, from what I've heard reminds me of me, and I like me, so I figure we'd have gotten on pretty well. I know he spent some years alone in Alaska where he spent most of his life, before he died. He liked to fish. I'd meet him fly fishing and just shoot the breeze for awhile.
So culinary vacation across time and one dead relative visit. Going forward, i dont want to go forward if i have to go back. If it's good, it would be depressing going back to this craphole decade.
