For me it’s Indian food, but then… what else? Ugh… what a question.
Bah. My mind is a whirling blank right here. I mean, freshly-prepared tiradito right off the boat is like… ffff, like tasting heaven.
I mean, I’ve never had *truly* fresh, truly authentic sushi, but I imagine it would be like tiradito? (note: it’s a form of ceviche, i.e. latino lime-cooked fish slices)
It seems to be a belief many Americans have, but usually they are mainly familiar with American Italian cuisine, which is quite different from mist actual Italian cuisine.
That was my sense as well from my one visit to Italy. As is completely common, an ethnic / cultural food almost always get adapted towards the tastes of other regions / nations.
