To each his own - bon appetit!
See? What was so difficult in admitting that others might have differing tastes?
Now you have managed to make two concessions that you were wrong about.
First about food being altered to suit local preferences, and now you are admitting that others have valid preferences too.
You really are DAFFY. I hardly support ONE TASTE - ONE WAY - might be one of the reasons I have about 1500 cookbooks and traveled to 60+ countries
But hey - if tough meat and mushy carrots float your boat - keep your daffiness with all its 'pleasures'
Your collection of cookbooks and travelling does not mean you are not narrowminded, arrogant little ass who thinks his word is the holy truth in questions of food.
Apparently it has done just the opposite, considering your condescending attitude and way you present your own taste preferences as the "real" think. "Real" bagel being done in the way jmaki says it has to be made, "real" pasta being what jmaki says it is.
Your ego was in serious need of popping. Don't blame me if it hurt.

ps- btw, there is handy "edit" function in board.
With regard to your 'logic' - I can hardly see how your comment below - with your reference to the quote just above - has ANY RELEVANCE - I'm saying there is MORE to taste and preferences than quantities of chili - just COMPLETELY opposite of what you are saying - and to boot in no way saying liking more or less chili is inferior
Your whole argument boils down to "Finns eat so bad, they do not know good stuff no matter how hard I have tried to force it down their throats".
That indeed means that there is only ONE way of doing things, your way. Only ONE set of "correct" taste, YOUR taste.
And you constantly are calling things preferred, or versions preferred, by Finns with derogatory expressions.
How is that not trying to imply that Finnish taste is not inferior to yours?
