With you until the last line. There are definitely corruptions of good dishes that have no merit. What do you call them?


Bad food. Seriously, food isn't good just because it's authentic, just like music isn't automatically good because it's traditional.

Like, some Scottish establishments will deep fry a pizza. Who cares it's not an "authentic" Italian food? It's "authentic" Scottish food at this point. I also don't particularly care about Italians thinking it's an abomination - they are free to think that, but I wouldn't have a go at the Scots for doing it - if they like it, then whatever.


Fried pizza is most certainly an authentic Italian thing -- it's street food in Napoli, and it's absolutely fantastic.
