该标题使用了synaesthesia(通感)的修辞手法。“通感” 又称 “移觉”,简单来说,就是用一种感官来描述另一种感官的体验。如有些颜色引起 “冷” 或 “暖” 的感觉,就是用触觉(冷或暖)来描述视觉(颜色)。memory 本身没有味道,但是用 delicious 这种味觉表达词来修饰,使读者更能够感同身受。

1 Do you think there's a strong connection between the writer and his / her mother? Find sentences to prove your idea.
Think and share.
Yes, because the writer has deep memory of his mother’s food.
E.g. Mine start with my mother. She can do magic in the kitchen.
For me, however, it’s the best food in the world. And it’s a better medicine than a pill.
Now, I’m studying away from home. But all the memories stay with me.

Sample
When I was young, my grandmother would make dumplings for me. She made them with fresh pork and green onions. I would sit beside her, watching her skillful hands. The smell of the dumplings made my mouth water. Every time I ate them, I felt warm and happy. Now, whenever I see dumplings, I think of my grandmother and those happy times. It's not just food, but a warm memory of my childhood.
