You can see this in stuff like Chinese-American restaurants, or British-Indian food, but a lot of great food comes from what cooks have to do when using their original recipes/cooking styles in a region with distinct ingredients. I end up accumulating a lot of ingredients that are traditional from international groceries and stuff, but a lot of interesting and tasty dishes come from what you can substitute regarding local produce and ingredients. |

It drives me crazy when I see people concerned about "appropriation" when one culture adopts the cuisine of another (appropriation exists, but the usages I've seen apply it far too broadly). People want others to enjoy what they enjoy. It's great to share recipes! I know that ordering American food in another country will not get me what I expect... and that's totally fine. The adaptation might not appeal to my tastes, but that doesn't make it bad. It doesn't mean they're not allowed to call it American food.
