I never ate anything frozen until I left it; everything was fresh.
I never had to make food for myself; food was cheap and plentiful.
I never had to eat the same item or cuisine twice, even in one week.
I now know that living like that is just so weird and wonderful, and I miss it very much. I really resented leaving that food culture / food access.
But today as I observe mid summer cherries, and how different they taste compared to last week, I get it, I think.
