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)
I’m happy you mentioned the bag-in-box wine. Boxed wind is frowned upon by snobs but when buying from a local co-op years ago the winemaker suggested to but some bagged wine for easy drinking. Especially suites for light wiens that don’t age.
I would also suggest to try the ‘tranche du boucher’ (butcher’s slice) in a local bistro. It’s a slice of meat that is sold a bit cheaper. Have it with a bit of bread and a green salad.
My American friend taught I was crazy when i ordered the hand cut steak tartare once. Finely chopped seasoned meat. Extra points if you have it with a raw quail egg yolk. Heavenly.
Americans and taste…
The raw meat and raw egg yolk is what scared him. He just watched me like it was a joke and checked the day after on my health status.
They’re scared AF from raw eggs.
I know they only eat them if they’re pasteurised at least.
Read about it once, they have different standards and practices.
Same for the meat, totally fine in Europe if all rules are followed.
