Food doesn’t evolve in a vacuum. I love how cultures meeting also means developing music, traditions, music and food.
Vietnamese is fusion of Asia and France. Viet-Cajun is vietnamese in the south of US. And then you get the marvelous vier-cajun-viet! British Indians developing the food.
Salmon sushi is Norwegian (ish) so different sauce on sushi…bring it on
i always like immigrant restaurants because they give precisely 0 fucks and will just smush together their cuisine with the native cuisine and create something effectively completely new that tastes amazing and is often pretty easy to cook as well (presumably since they want it to be cheap).
e.g. british indian food, nordic kebab/pizza, thai restaurants, etc etc
Norway at least has food wise benefited immensely from immigration. You always har fine dining with French or Italian inspired food. But I am old enough to remember when TexMex became available in stores and how exotic it was.
yeah my dad has talked about having pizza the first time and how it was a whole thing, meanwhile i’m grown up with pizzerias staffed by middle eastern dudes being as much of a staple as grocery stores… i quite prefer it this way.
