[quote=Anonymous]Ever read the comments section of recipes posted online? Lots of obsession with authenticity. People complain “these tamales/lentils/whatever aren’t authentic!” But like one of the PPs said, how far back do you have to go for it to be authentic? Food changes over time, people migrate, newer generations change recipes based on preference or available ingredients. I’m from New Haven and I’m sure many would roll their eyes at some of our Italian American food and how we pronounce things. But our great grandfathers came from Naples, and they opened restaurants here, and taught their kids the recipes they liked and that sold well here. But that’s not authentic enough![/quote]
