    Homemade sub sandwiches (we eat them on our kayaking trips)
    watermelon
    cherries
    banana chips (again with the kayaking)
    shishkabobs
    anything grilled, although we grill in the winter, too

    And then since we garden a lot, certain fresh vegetables are very "summer" to me
    Acorn squash, kohlrabi, and corn on the cob being big ones

    We've just started grilling here. We have a lot of what my OH calls "Power Salads" starting this time of year - big entree sized salads with chicken and his favorite veggies and add-ons for him and mine for me.

    It's not really "the taste of summer" for me until the kale starts popping in my garden and I can make Thai beef salad with kale and herbs from my garden and cucumbers from Mom's garden.

    In about a month I will have strawberries in my garden. Saw the first blossom yesterday. :smiley:

    Hot dogs and marshmallows toasted over a fire. Cheese popcorn (we always brought it on camping trips). Buffalo burgers because our local college has a bbq with buffalo burgers. Ice cream in cones. Funnel cake and elephant ears (our local festival is cancelled this year because of covid, so will be missing these). Strawberry shortcake, both in storebought cakes and homemade shortcake, because I had the former as a child and the latter as a teen while at home.

    A minor aside for the smells of summer - in college I had a bunch of friends who all smoked American Spirits. I never smoked but I learned to love the smell of American Spirits because of the hours we'd spend hanging out on various Lake Michigan beaches. It's pure nostalgia.
