Why does meat taste different in Europe?

Yes European raised beef does taste differently because it is mainly grass fed–as I understand–but this is USDA grain or grass fed beef and should taste like what you get in the USA at the better restaurants.

Which country has the best tasting meat?

Argentina. While many people assume that the United States tops the world in beef steak consumption, that honor actually goes to Argentina, where residents consume an average of nearly 130 pounds of beef steak (per person) each year.

Why is European food so much better?

This is not unique to North America, Europe too has out-of season produce sold in stores. The difference is that Europeans will often demand and pay for the better quality products due to high standards related to the food they eat. Cooking and food is not a chore, it’s part of people’s identity.

Should you buy European-tasting fruits and vegetables?

As more people express willingness to buy abnormally shaped fruits and vegetables, hopefully that will extend to smaller-than-usual produce with richer flavor as well, and supermarkets will respond.

Why don’t we grow produce like in Europe?

We have the ability to grow produce that is just as delicious as what’s grown in Europe. It’s just that we choose not to. It all comes down to differences in culture and preference. In Italy, France, and other parts of Europe, taste reigns supreme.
