It'll be like that time I went to several of Manhattan's best bagel
places only to discover that real authentic New York bagels aren't
really all that much better than the ones I used to get from my usual place in NC (that transplants used to bash for not being authentic enough...) :P
haha. I was the same way with some fruits and veggies. I used to have it in my head that if you truly wanted to taste authentic Maui sweet onions you had to go to Maui to get them or that they had to be grown on the island of Maui. Same goes with Manila mangos. They're native to the Philippines but most of the ones that are sold in the U.S. are grown out of Mexico since the climate is
similar to that of the Philippines. :P
