I went abroad and tried ceviche. Even though they try to copy it, it's never the same. The fish is not the same, the potatoes don't taste the same, the sweet potatoes don't taste the same, the corn is minuscule, even the lemon tastes different.

Sometimes, I wish dishes wouldn't depend so much on the origin of ingredients, so I could taste the delicious food I like anywhere.

I hear that McDonald's is pretty consistent around the globe.

Are you talking about original Peruvian ceviche? Nowadays ceviche is more like a technique than the original dish. Kinda like poke where you have many different variations.

Things always taste better abroad. Amalfi lemons, balsamic vinegar, caipirinha, sangria, mozzarella…: the list is endless.

If you're on holiday, you're relaxed, you're cool. Your body is in a different mode and your taste buds behave very differently.

2 examples:

1: I went to Spain and found a truly amazing Sangria there. I got on really well with the bartender and he shared the recipe with me. I got home, tried the recipe here in Belgium, and it failed. Nothing to it.

2: Just a few weeks ago: hotel/restaurant/pub fair in Belgium. We go with a bunch of colleagues and find some awesome new stuff to try. We get home and… it tastes piss poor.

That's normal. Mom's kitchen is still best, and always will be. Why? Because you're relaxed and feel safe, just like in leisure or on holidays.

Look for Marcel Proust and his "madeleines", if you want to know more. Maybe it'll help you understand why certain dishes or ingredients become hits, and others don't, even if they're better.

Yes, the original Peruvian ceviche.

I tried the same one abroad and it tasted horrible. I also tried the Ecuadorian and Colombian versions - let's say I found them extremely lacking.

Haven't left Murrica in geez… 23 years now, but even back then, the overseas McDo was higher quality.

The fries are the same. Everything else is different. Almost like the rest of the world prefers a little bit higher quality instead of maximizing caloric intake for $7.
