      Not sure where you’re reading that into my comment, the USA is right up there with most developed countries. Using that as a proxy for “culinary development” it’s in the mix with most European countries (coincidentally slightly above Spain by 2/3 metrics).

      So you either subjectively hate USA cuisine for some reason or are unfairly comparing the two (eg. Average meal in Madrid vs NYC Midwest McDonalds)

        I just miss when produce tasted like produce without needing to find a gentrified farmers market and pay exorbitant prices for a tomato.

        good food is the bare minimum standard, not a luxury
