What happens when you get people from one origin, cooking food for another origin/culture? You get mixed taste that are sometimes great but at times shocking !

I donāt recall a time where Iāve bought something and just as I pay the price increases randomly when no more value for what Iām getting has come with it. Itās the same thing for a higher price. It makes no...
