Argentines do not have bad taste in food, it's simply a simpler palette. The US and much of Europe has been blessed with immigration from many places in the world. Large immigrant communities allow the infrastructure for authentic ethnic food to be produced.
It's simply a matter of variety.
Many of the expats here are addicted to variety. In the US you have large Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Arab, Korean, Cuban, Mexican, etc.communities that don't exist here. If you are not accustomed to these varieties of food they will not be appealing. We all know the first times we tried these cuisines, we probably didn't enjoy the experience.
So Argentina has grown in relative isolation compared to the types of communities our BAexpats have come from.
An addiction to variety is not necessarily a good thing. Are having relationships with a variety of partners a good thing for example? Sure it adds spice to life, but isn't stability also a good thing. Maybe you should be more faithful to that Fugazzeta you past each morning on your way to work...
