Ha! I’m talking local organic farms with no pesticides where I can go and buy groceries right where they are grown. Trying to find organic food here is a joke. Small stores scattered about with barely any selection.
Just like brian you’re trying to pick an example of one type when there’s more variety than any other national cuisine, something for everybody. Chain restaurants are disappearing all over the US in favor of locally sourced. So my guess is your experience is from chain restaurants as is mostly seen in Taiwan.
New Mexican Food (small cafe central Las Cruces near New Mexico State Uni near where we where on business). Food was good for me !! But for Taiwan and Chinese staffs& teachers they would say to local people it’s great, but at night they drove to El Paso (Texas) for good Asian Fix and complaints about the food. Last photo was fav of Taiwanese coworkers (simple Turkey dinner) in San Diego. That trip we were in New Mexico-Texas + Denver + Southern California , in order the best food was San Diego, Houston (to be fair there huge Taiwanese/Asia areas with varied food), Las Cruses/El Paso (and a day in Ciudad Juárez which we had good food) last was Denver where found where people may thing Americans eat high fat/fast foods.
So i will say this there not aversion to poor nations food as in Ciudad Juárez we had good food and not quick foods like we had in the Denver area. Anyways this is my feedback with Taiwanese and Japanese workers there maybe different from the feedback you get.
