You wouldn't believe, OP, how important French-origin food and dishes are to French culture. Every day on the news, there is a dedicated food segment about authentic regional food, how lovingly it's produced using centuries old recipes or methods, how it's labeled and marketed so that consumers can distinguish it from fakes from God Knows Where (like lowly Italy or Spain, the horror!!!!!!!), how it's produced lovingly, how Chinese and/or Arab or American clients are interested,  etc.

I mean, my father and his colleagues had two hour lunches where they talked about nothing but food, back in the day. My private high school had red and white wine in little individual carafes for the teachers at lunch time.

We are a food obsessed nation, but differently obsessed than the USA.

Preservation of traditional dishes is important. But so is the American tendency for fusion and change.[/quote]

PP you replied to. Of course, we do it all the time. Just don't sell it as authentic, is the point.
