For me it’s Indian food, but then… what else? Ugh… what a question.
Bah. My mind is a whirling blank right here. I mean, freshly-prepared tiradito right off the boat is like… ffff, like tasting heaven.
I mean, I’ve never had *truly* fresh, truly authentic sushi, but I imagine it would be like tiradito? (note: it’s a form of ceviche, i.e. latino lime-cooked fish slices)
A famous Anthony Bourdain quote about Japan states: “If I had to eat only in one city for the rest of my life, Tokyo would be it. Most chefs I know would agree with me”. He also famously described his first experience in Tokyo as being like “taking LSD for the first time,” a transformative experience that changed his perspective on the world.
I agree, for me it would be Japanese food, it’s so diverse and so refined.
