Ahh European exceptionslism. I don't really buy into marketing and was extremely disappointed by the taste and quantity of food in the European countries I visited.

There were exceptions, but the food is generally bland, and one of these countries was Italy.

They really advertise the authenticity of ingredients, when they need to learn "salt, acid, sugar, msg, fat"

> but the food is generally bland,

Similar experience in the other direction. Food in LA was incredibly overseasoned and in particular drinks like lemonade were extremely sweet. After a while I got used to it/had dulled my sense of taste so that this tasted "normal" and European food "bland". Luckily after some time without American food my sense of taste returned to normal.

I can definitely tell that typical restaurant food is significantly higher quality than typical US restaurant food when I visited Spain and Italy. Doesn't really say much if someone can't because they might not have the tastebuds for it.
