How does memory recall sensations that closely mimic live senses?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) April 1st, 2012

Today I ate chocolate. Now some half a day later I can still quite clearly recall the flavor of it. It is like I am really eating the chocolate.

What is it about memory that can replay such a sense without the acctual article being present?
