We moved from the upper midwest and there are food-items there we can't find duplicates of here (unless we make it ourselves). I don't understand "food snobs" who come, can't find then complain because it's not like where they once lived.
Completely agree. The consistent flavor in the Villages seems to be BLAND. Not sure if they are trying to keep everyone happy or they believe older people do not like spicy or what. Every restaurant I try is one or two notches down from my hometown. Pizza bland. Chinese bland. Real roast beef? The closest I have seen to that is cows grazing in one of the rural pastures. At the restaurants, it is all processed.
