I've traveled all over the world, from southeast Asia to Scandinavia, Europe, the UK, Central America and the Caribbean. The experiences have all been wonderful, in vastly different ways.

But, the reality is, taste is taste; just because something's consumed in an exotic location, that doesn't make it taste any better. And if we're spending a lot of money on something that tastes bad, then the experience is weakened, not enhanced. The point is, it's best to establish those expectations in advance, whenever possible, so one's experience remains amazing and not disappointing. Hence the purpose of these forums. So, if one's from New England, then don't expect a comparable lobster experience. Now everyone can manage expectations and have a wonderful experience.
