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…
