One point is that the post-Colombian shift in native american cuisines is linked to cultural trauma. And in some cases it wasn’t that long ago.

So I understand the desire to rediscover pre-contact food.

Or so I would imagine. I know little about this topic.

Absolutely. What I mean is that we can't declare something "inauthentic" just because it was invented after a certain time or event.
