Popular Post holymoly 47 Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 It is not only you and you don't have to blame yourself - aging and such. Fruits and vegetables have been designed to 1} look good, 2) last a long time, 3) can be transported over long distances. That has been done quite successfully but at the cost of taste, flavor (smell). The outstanding example is strawberries; They look great, are big, last a long time. But the taste is G O N E........ So don't blame yourself and don't let the others put you down; they obviously are ignorant of the tremendous "progress" that science has made on the behalf of growers. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bangkok Barry 9712 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 In my experience there is an enormous difference between the quality and taste, of meats in particular, when comparing Thailand and Europe. I guess it's the way the animals are fed. You can get good quality in Thailand, for example in Tops, but you'll pay European price+, as opposed to less money for the mediocre Thai version. As with so many things in life, you have to pay for quality. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Surelynot 14357 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 The shelf life of tomatoes is inversely proportional to how tasty they are...apparently! If you choose a variety that lasts (supermarket ones I guess)...expect little or no real flavor. Alternatively you maybe asymptotic with covid19 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the meat is heavily farmed with poor quality feed given to them.. hence no flavour. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
