Welcome to Passerelle, a podcast designed to spark the curiosity of French learners.

Hi, I’m Emilie, and this week, as usual, I’d like to invite you to take a few minutes to reflect on a question together.
, .
In each episode, I try to bring you a variety of topics to explore.
, .
My goal is simply to share with you some food for thought and to encourage you to ask yourself questions in French.
, .
Today, let's reminisce about our childhoods through the lens of food. What were some of the dishes we loved eating as kids?
, , .
When I think back to my earliest food memories, one thing immediately comes to mind: afternoon snacks.
.
Our tastes develop from a very young age.

And yet, what we love and hate to eat changes throughout our lives.

It seems obvious to me, but maybe I should explain briefly what "le goûter" is.
France, quatre , , , .
In France, it's called "le quatre heures," which means "four o'clock." It's a snack, a little something to eat in the late afternoon.
, , , Angleterre, Argentine .
I don't think it's really a specifically French thing. After all, there's afternoon tea in England, and merenda in lots of other countries around the world, like Argentina for example.
.
But afternoon tea is something deeply rooted in French habits.
.
Childhood snacks hold a special place in my heart.
.
I still remember the cookies and little cheese sandwiches my grandma used to give me when my grandparents picked me up from school.
, .
These days, I still have a little treat almost every day.
, , , .
In this episode, we're going to ponder the following question: why do the dishes we eat during our childhood leave such a lasting impression on us? To start, we'll be focusing on taste.
, .
This will be an opportunity to understand why tastes differ from person to person, but also within the same person throughout their life.
, , , , , .
Next, we'll discuss the connection between memory and food. Finally, we'll come back to the afternoon snack and the comforting aspect of this daily ritual. First off, to understand the differences in taste between people, we need to look at our brains and how they process the taste of food.

Flavors embark on a remarkable journey to reach the various areas of our brain.

When I use the verb "effectuer," it means "to do."
