Lukeville to Puerto Penaasca

I truly believe soil plays a big part in flavors and tastes. I had lunch last March in Ambato, Ecuador. My coworkers wanted to show me their only Mexican restaurant. Food was so-so. The Mexican owner, married to an Ecuadorian, said buying local didn't cut it in terms of flavor. She was so right.

The same when we attempted to duplicate Mexican food while we were in Canada. I guess it's like the butter thread :)
