I've noticed food evolves in a particular way when it arrives to a new country. It's logical that food needs to be adapted to the country taste in order to get popular, but what it intrigues me is that it usually becomes more "complex", a lot of new ingredients are added, and the original refinement is missed.
A good example is pizza, I'm from Mexico, so I was get used to pizzas with a lot of different ingredients and a specific shape: https://tinyurl.com/y7wd7hl6
So I was really excited to taste the real stuff in Italy and then I got shocked when I noticed how simple one of the most popular is: https://tinyurl.com/nqcdhah

And it seems like this is not something particular to Mexico, it happens the other way around too:
