Fettuccine Pasta for Time Travel

Each of us has a simple dish from childhood, the taste of which periodically rises from the depths of memory to the surface. As a rule, this happens due to some person or event. For me, such a dish is fettuccine pasta with milk.

I'm cooking it. I'm raising the fork to my mouth. Magic is working, and I'm fourteen again. I'm sitting in Grandma Lyalya's kitchen, in my favourite place: in a cosy nook next to the refrigerator. Old French tunes are playing on the radio. I'm listening to them with half an ear, chatting with my grandma and watching her cook. I'm impatiently waiting for my portion. I'm hungry, so it seems like the cooking is too slow. Finally, everything is ready, and Grandma puts the pasta onto deep plates and serves them on the table.

A lot of time has passed, but I still associate this food with the warmth of milk, the taste of sweet dough and my grandma's comment: don't rush, it's hot! What's your hurry?

There are no time travel technologies on Earth yet, but we can still go back to our past using tastes, smells, and sounds. It's simple. You need to know the correct recipe.
