Yeah I’m all for dunking on Europeans, but this is a dumb take, all food is from somewhere else. Apples may have come from Kazakhstan but that doesn’t mean people and cultures from outside Kazakhstan haven’t also grown apples and come up with unique ways to prepare and eat them. So what? Doesn’t mean a Japanese apple curry isn’t a part of Japanese cuisine, or cider isn’t a traditional beverage in south west England. Likewise with rice? Are we claiming that only food made near the Yangtze River basin can claim rice? Nigerian Jollof is rice apropriation?

Get outa here.

Dunk on Belgium for being allergic to flavour, or Germany for thinking chicken is a vegetable or Italians for being weird little freaks if you mess up a “traditional Italian recipe” when the only Italian food tradition for most of history was ‘not starving’.
