Love Mexican and south American food, Creole, Southern, Cuban…plus the US has stolen foods from around the world, so I guess I get to keep pretty much eating whatever.
Because most everyone is an immigrant? Where do you draw the line and call something native or not? Otherwise we’re eating nothing but succotash and whatever else the First People had. Is anyone saying you can’t have a hamburger in Thailand?

Lots of people in this thread seem to be labouring under the bizarre notion that only the US is allowed to count immigrant cuisine as their own.

Obviously nobody is saying any of those things. The meaning should be obvious when read in context of the original post.
