Not trying to make a big deal of it, just trying to understand you. You said that it was a question of American diversity that improved ethnic food, now you’re saying it’s ingredients that only grow in America that make American versions of ethnic dishes better. I think I need some examples because being a Brit I don’t really know what you’re talking about.
Here we are famous for a dish available in Indian restaurants called chicken tikka masala. It was invested by Bengali chefs here and is unknown in the Indian subcontinent. It’s so popular that it’s arguably our national dish, but I wouldn’t say it’s better than authentic Indian dishes, it’s just different. My invitation to you is to specify a dish, imported into America by immigrants, that is improved by the introduction of American ingredients.
