    every American "fusion"* restaurant, say Korean-Mexican bbq, is actually a three way Korean-Mexican-American. This becomes apparent when you visit another country, say India, and you notice that their Chinese food is actually Chinese-Indian food. Anyway I wouldn't be surprised to see a three-way fusion in another country

    * not the suburban "fusion" orange chicken factories where they serve generic "Asian" food

        Pizza hut used to be a lot fancier in the US, too. it was never fine dining but you used to be able to go to a Pizza Hut or Domino's or a dozen others and sit down at a table and have your pizza brought out to you.

        Oh yeah forgot about fast food. Subway has the aloo patty in the US now. Same with KFC in India, I knew a girl who went there on special occasions.

      In Vietnam, there are places doing a repatriated version of Vietcajun soul food made by Vietnamese immigrants in the American South. That probably counts because of all the French influence.

      Yep, foods get changed when crossing between cultures to be more appealing to the next culture.
