Does he go on to mention Proust's Madeleine? As far as I know, Proust was the first guy to write about having a flashback simply by eating something. But then, it was something he hadn't eaten since childhood that caused his flashback -- a cake called "Madeleine". Mole definitely has a less obvious connection to the gravel-oiling memory.
