It's simply different. There are spices here that remind me of the spices back home, some are named the same thing but taste differently. Even the salt here tastes different, but it's still salt. It's more bitter, I suppose you could say. And the pepper here still is hot to the tongue but tastes less potent than the pepper I'm used to. I've yet to find any boar meat, but I'll certainly have to try it once I do, just to see if there's any difference. I'll also have to find a place to hunt. The best kind of dinner is the kind you killed, yourself.
