Basically anything not PDO[1] would be "cheap knock off". Spaghetti, nope, not unless it's imported Italian. Dates, only if they're Persian/Iranian. Tacos --would e have to import all the ingredients? What is a "Hamburger" or a "Burrito" are they German and Mexican or are they American given they were invented here? It's ridiculous stance. No Japanese curry in Japan, No Tempura in Japan (derived from foreign influence)...
