Why do some foods taste different in different countries?

I recently traveled and noticed that some familiar foods tasted totally different abroad. Does anyone know why this happens? Is it the ingredients, cooking methods, or something else?

That’s a great observation! The difference in taste often comes down to a mix of ingredients, local flavors, and cooking methods. Ingredients like spices and herbs can vary significantly from one place to another, and even the way food is prepared can make a big difference.
