Yawn

Not to mention that even though you may find our ingredients at the supermarket etc. it is NEVER the same. The brown sugar here sucks.....Im sorry but it does. Unless you buy it from the Asian Markets cause that is as close as you are gonna get to the real stuff. And nothing beats fresh goats milk or fresh picked coconuts, plums, and pear (what americans know as Avocado).

The ingredients have a different flavor due to weather and soil. Our sweet potatoes are not like american sweet potatoes. First of all they have a reddish-purple skin and are a white or grayish color. And they are much sweeter. In our homes here in America we make do with american ingredients so even if it is prepared the way we would back home the flavor will be different.
