Fusion cuisine is good actually and anyone that cares about “authenticity” is a nerd.
I think people should take authenticity to the extreme and cook European foods without all of these crazy ingredients from the new world. I’m sorry but tomatoes, potatoes, and corn are now banned.
You okay babe? you’ve barely touched your unseasoned stew made entirely of root vegetables.
I care about authenticity in that the authentic version of a food is always going to be much better than the cheap Americanized version. But yeah fusion is good, combining different good things is basically what cooking is.
I like to eat fusion cuisine, however, authentic recipes have been refined over centuries and you can taste that. Sushi filled with mayo, corn, and avocado just isn’t as good as the original, as is pizza with hollandaise and schnitzel, or whatever you want to call that stuff you get in western “Chinese” restaurants.
