What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's? (lemmy.world)

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

When I make my pico de gallo, I use key limes instead of regular limes. Tastes more authentic.

Jesus, lol, for some reason you're getting interrogated for this take. I don't get lemmy sometimes

Yeah I don't get it. I'm talking about Mexican food here. So one would assume authentic would refer to the flavors of it's origins, vs something like at a taco bell or something. Am I supposed to feel ashamed of my Mexican heritage or something?

Define authentic taste for me.

Tastes like how I remember it tastes in Mexico vs how it tastes in the US
