Last spring, I took a class about the theory of the narrative in short stories and writing. One of the books we read in pursuit of learning about different styles of narrative flow was Marcel Prout's Swann's Way. That's the book in which the narrator describes in great detail the way in which the taste of a madeleine takes him back to a particular experience from his childhood. The night we discussed that section of the book, my professor brought madeleines and tea to class and now I can't see madeleines without thinking of that moment.
These are a particularly lovely version of the madeleine. Big thanks to Angie for adding this pic to the Slashfood Flickr pool.
