I think it is monetary thing. I can get good from Farmers Market (not cheap) and a "secret spot" I know at landfill I just can't get around anymore ; life changes. Taste memories as you noted don't fade. I will never forget our white nectarine tree - heaven on earth..But I am enjoying what y'all are sharing One of my favorites as a young teen was fresh cherries in a brownie cake-like prep. I remember taking some to a Lakers game and sharing with random folks seated around. Moans of pleasure. Cherries and chocolate seems a thing like Nancy Silverton's chocolate cherry bread. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/130963-chocolate-sour-cherry-bread-ala-labrea/
