[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]'[b]authentic' food is such f*$&_ing horseshit. [/b]

Can't stand authenticity snobbish aholes.  Many dishes invented in the new world were a matter of survival for newly arrived immigrants from italy, china, etc. etc.  They had to invent new dishes with ingredients that were available, and to fit the palate of a local market.  There is nothing more authentic than people inventing a new take on their cuisine as a means for survival.

American italian and chinese dishes can be delicious as well if they're made well. They can just be considered another type of regional cuisine.

Screw 'authenticity'.  I'll can enjoy chicken parm as much as I like food when I go to italy.  Or I like general tso's chicken as much as I like food when I go to Shenzhen.  The authentic snobs love to shit all over the sacrifice and history that went into making new world dishes for survival. [/quote]
I mean your post is sort of right, but no, celebrating and authentication authentic food in the countries from which they originated isn’t “f*$&_ing horseshit.” It’s maintaining their culture. I like fusion and totally non-authentic foods, too, but good on Italy for maintaining their culture. I also appreciate it when Native Americans celebrate the authentic foods of their cultures.
