The point I reached last night
No, I don't want to eat another arepas or tamale, I am too full. It won't taste good. I won't enjoy it, I can't stand any more. But I will eat it, because I know the memory of it will be superb.

Is it for the memory, or for the ability to (truthfully) tell the story to others as such: "The food was so good that I was totally full, stuffed to the gills, hardly able to taste anything...and this tamale just demanded that I comply with its eating demands. What an amazing meal..."

That is why we need *more* Mexican's in this country, best damned food ever.

Does this mean food (via memory) is a durable good?

I think that also poses the question of, "Why do we do the things that we do?". Do we do things for the
pleasure we get out of it? Or do we do it for the memory? Memories are a wonderful and amazing thing.
Making memories and being able to tell and retell the stories behind them make the experience even better.
I know I've caught myself thinking before, "Well, if I don't go or if I don't do this, I might miss out on
some fun, exciting, and thrilling experience." So, I think we all do things on the one hand to make and
create memories. And in making these memories, we have a way of creating our own story and we find pleasure
in sharing some of our story with other people. Reliving memories with the people who were with us or just
with other people gives us a sense of belonging and comfort. I just experienced that this morning with
some of my close girl friends. It's thrilling and joyful to relive and retell the experiences and
memories we've created with each other. So, I would agree fully with TC's statement.

I eat food for enjoyment just like everyone else, nut i am not an elephant. if food helps memory then goats, pigs, cows, should never forget. No wonder why they say a elephant never forgets.
