Yeah Bahn Mi isn’t really Vietnamese since it uses French baguette, Tacos aren’t Mexican since they use European meats and cheeses not available to Native Americans, Thai chilie is from North America, etc. Fuck outta here.
The latter statement is pretty disputed to be honest. Between France and Belgium having an ongoing dispute, and the first reference to the dish being Spanish, it’s a bit up in the air: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_fries
I’m surprised about Hungary. There’s a Doner vendor on every corner. But due to the uneasiness of having Turkish cuisine or flags around, what with 150 years of occupation and the biggest Hungarian epic having the theme of it to this day, they are usually faking themselves to be Greek selling Gyros instead.
I wonder if in germany the creators considered Döner as Turkish, if yes then this is questionable because Döner is more German than Turkish. If than it’s surprising that Italian food looses against Turkish
what are you on about, döner means “it spins” in turkish and is a traditional turkish food. Turkish immigrants popularized it in germany just like kebab.
This made me curious about Suriname. What would be considered specifically Surinamese (?) food? What are things that make it distinctive from other cuisine?
For those wondering why Surinamese food would be popular in the Netherlands, it was a Dutch colony from 1667 until 1954, because of course, it fucking was.
