Some dishes from different cultures can be difficult to adjust to especially since American taste buds aren’t used to the array of spices, herbs and real foods used in these dishes. We know about salt and pepper, but sometimes that’s where it ends. The seasonings and flavors of processed foods are chemically produced – so our tongues and taste buds aren’t quite sure how to handle the culinary tastes like cumin, tarragon, coconut cream – just to name a few.
