I've eaten tomatoes picked straight from the ground in Italy, I've eaten apples off of a tree in Paris (a rare treat), I've had Menemen in Turkey made fresh from the garden owned by our Hotel operators. Honestly it was all very good, but I see no difference between the good food there and the good food here.Then you gotta go further south and southeast and east. I haven't tasted European fruit, but there is a genuine (really, not placebo) difference where I've been. Have you picked a fruit off a tree in Europe?
Huh, alright then. Fair enough I guess, I could've just been having some record-shattering food the last few summers. I retract my claim to the sole region of Armenia! Shit's stellar over there!
Sure lol go for it, we're a simple bunch in that we sorta just put random greens on random meats and wrap it in random breads and leaves and shit. Comes out great sometimes though, I wouldn't discourage you from it.
