You've definitely pinned it with the quality of ingredients. Even our finest of fine over here will never compare. The lack of vegetarian fair, however, IS likely comparable to what you'd find in villages and small communities here in Canada as well. By that, I mean mostly brown or white, sauces, deep fried, cheeses and salt. Alas, the finest fair in the world for ingredients doesn't mean the chef will be too notch. If they're in a smaller town rather than a city, running a luncheon for convenience and a paycheque only, chances are they didn't attend culinary school, let alone one left in the dust of the 1970's. They are there to serve a local population that must have been indicative of their preference for old school pallettes, possibly even reminiscent of comfort food to them.
That being said, I personally adore the fact that this has forced your hand to your own creations while on the move. An adventure awaits you with each mouthful this way 👌
Curiously, do the two of you enjoy cooking in your temporary abode over there? If so, what sorts of delicacies do you prepare yourself and how are you finding the cost, availability and freshness of groceries by comparison?
