My wife's uncle was an old Swede, his mother came over from the "old country". He always reminisced about her gooseberry pie.
We had a gooseberry bush on our place, and the family always got together on July 4th. She made a gooseberry pie, and gave him a piece of it without telling him what it was. He was in his 80's at the time- got all teary and said it was like he was back in his childhood, kept thanking her, etc. It was the most emotional I'd ever seen him.
Same type of thing happened with me and my grandmother when I was in high school. She grew up on a farm near Lebanon, MO- told about climbing up in the "simmon (persimmon) tree" and eating simmons until she was sick. I went to Kansas City for the National FFA convention in 1965, and went on to Lebanon and visited the family. They took me out to the old home place, and there was the very same persimmon tree, full of fruit. They helped me pick some that were green enough that they would just be ripe when I got back home.
Took them to grandma in the nursing home- I gave them to her, and she asked where I ever got persimmons around here (Washington state)? Told her that actually, they were from the very same tree she had always told us about. She just sat there and bawled, and ate persimmons.
