Where do you think pizza comes from?

[โ€“] [email protected] 64 points 3 months ago (18 children)

Like all things, we have seized it and made it our own. Like how getting Chinese food in an American restaurant only vaguely resembles Chinese cuisine. ๐Ÿ’ช

Sure, but the Americanized versions of Italian, German, or Chinese foods were made by immigrants adapting their traditional recipes with ingredients they had on hand.

I can't speak for German or Chinese food, but having been to Italy, a good NYC slice beats anything the Italians have to offer.

Hard disagree there. I've visited both and tried both. NYC pizza is disappointingly average.

Just like how italian, German, and Chinese foods came about! America is just more recent and we tend to keep the labels of the influences ao it is more obvious.

Well, that and adjusting to suit mainstream tastes. Like how garlic bread is largely a Western introduction in Korea, but is preferred sweet there instead of savory.

Development of cuisine is a fascinating thing!
