Here’s something I have discovered over the years through cooking. All classes of fish and meat have their own peculiar taste and flavour they add to the soup or whatever you add them to. For example, the taste of goat meat in any soup is different from the taste of cow meat. The taste of catfish is not the same with that of Tuna fish. Each of them comes with their own unique taste.
This is exactly how we are to bring our unique taste into any 'mix' we are added, releasing our unique essence.
I have not seen where goat meat struggle or compete to taste like pork neither have I heard of the cow meat struggling to taste like egg. Each of them is unique in their tastes, and this to a large extent informs our choices of which one to use for what dish.
Friends, stop losing your flavour because you want to taste like someone else. You cannot be good at everything and for everything. Accept that some people will be different from you and maybe better preferred. It doesn’t diminish your uniqueness. You’re unique in the flavour you bring to the table. That, my friend is what makes you, you.
Not embracing your difference blinds you from your uniqueness and lands you in identity crisis.
Don't hide your flavour! Don't swap your taste.
