For me it's what my Mum referred to as nursery tastes, so cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and raisins, I'm never happier with a bowlful of rice pudding with these flavours running through it.

The rest of my family all have a sweet tooth, Peanut butter and Salt Caramel being the preferred taste of all of them.

chocolate and raspberries - taste of summer.

A really good lemon meringue pie or panna cotta. I like puddings!

Chocolate for me and banana for my son

Strawberries and cream
Trifle
Christmas pudding and custard
Freshly podded peas
Ripe peaches

Yum...

Slightly predictable, but I like cheese - particularly a really gooey one. Reminds me of holidays. I also love a good hot chocolate - a real comfort drink.

Perfectly ripe lightly sun-warmed raspberries, with clotted cream, or cold custard, and a sprig of mint. Perfectly simple, and The taste of English summer.

For me and 7yo DD it's a lot of different fruit. Both of us go crazy for lychees, I am very happy in the rare window they're available. Her other favourite is physalis. For me I think perfectly ripe raspberries are hard to beat.

That's not to say I don't love other stuff too - I am a definite chocoholic! And someone above mentioned chicken skin - yep! DD fights me for it. She's her mother's daughter alright just hope she can stay slim

5yo DS, I'd say pasta. With pretty much anything - I can sneak all sorts of stuff into sauces that he would otherwise refuse. If he had to choose just one though I reckon he'd say macaroni cheese.

Chocolate for me too, Oh and the lovely taste of hot vinegar covered chips.

my dd loves Olives -they always put a huge smile on her face she just loves them (bleugh)

For DS cheese or anything with grated cheese on top followed by a tub of rice pud or yoghurt

For DH fish and chips or cheese and pickle sandwiches, good old fashioned fare followed by Apple pie and cream.

For me a fillet steak with pepper sauce to start and if there is any room left chocolate pudding with chocolate custard.

DS (16 months) is obsessed by bananas. He searches my handbag and shopping bags for them. If he finds one he squeaks and hugs it. He has finally learned that he needs to let me peel it (oh, the screams we used to have when I reached towards it and he thought it was going to be taken away) but he watches my every move like a hawk.

It is definitely his taste of happy.

Stollen, it means winter's coming and it's the lead in to feeling Christmassy

Mulled cider in winter

For me mashed potato it's pure comfort food.

Cake

My mums chicken and vegetable soup is my happy taste - no matter how I try, I just can't recreate the flavour and goodness that she seems to jam into the steaming bowl of glorious broth.

And for a quick and sugary pick me up, warm chocolate brownie and good extra thick vanilla custard is amazing

For me, my happy taste is coconut ice cream as it reminds me of meals out with family and friends, some of whom I see very seldom.

Pistachio ice creams. - always reminds me of holidays in Italy when I was younger.

My happy taste is definitely chocolate! At the moment my son loves oranges and can't get enough of them.

Dd loves banannas, also shes going through a phase of being mad about honey.

I love caramel, peanut butter and chocolate (2x happier when pb and choc are together) . Ooooh and baileys.

Im off to raid the cupboards now

Not original at all, but it's got to be chocolate!

salted caramel
anything caramel in fact

lentil shepherd pie

Chocolate. Sorry it's a boring answer but I love that tingling sensation I get in my mouth when I have some chocolate!

Also, a well made hot chocolate.

And chocolate milkshake.

(Can you tell I like chocolate?!) ;)

The first bite of a full on roast dinner! (Especially after I've been slaving away making it!)

Also, cheese on crackers, washed down with apple juice. That is my summer flavour!

And a nice chilled white grape juice drink!
