Matar saudades

I was in Portugal last week and guess what I ate....comi um pastel de nata para “matar saudades”.

The expression “matar saudades” means to relive an experience (a place, a moment, a person, a thing, etc) you longed for.

How would you translate “matar saudades” in English or in another language?
