The best English food can be found in the pig troughs of any country in the world.

But only a bit
This whole issue can be addressed with a single, simple sceptical challenge: can a food tradition be owned by a group?

Hopefully so. This would open an avenue to force the US to keep MacDonald's exclusively within its borders. And grits in Florida. And Dunkin' Donuts...Brian Peacock wrote:can a food tradition be owned by a group?

It's a German invention based on the theft of the culinary culture of brown people. It's part of the culture of appropriation of brown bodies and brown minds.Svartalf wrote:Given that the modenr döner kebab sandwich IS a German invention, I don't see the problem.NineBerry wrote:

Talk to the Progressives. You missed the fact that the idea that it is problematic is coming out of the leftist progressive social justice camp.

It is only problematic because you confuse "race" with ethnicity.
Until you work this one out, you'll not be worth the effort of engaging in conversation.

It's o.k. because the French are "white." It's only when brown people are involved that white people can't attempt to utilize their cuisine either to make authentic versions or to make fusions and modifications.Scot Dutchy wrote:You dont get the best French food in only France. Go to Brussel there are fantastic restaurants serving French cuisine.

Ethnicity and nationality are social constructs. You may think they're Belgian fries, but the person making them may well identify as French. Check your privilege.Svartalf wrote:Belgian fries are better than French.

Re: Eating other ethnicities' foods = cultural appropriation
It was Turks who invented it. But in Germany. So no stealing going on. But then non-Turkish Germans going to America to sell the Döner is a different thing. I wonder whether they emulate the Turkish Döner sellers in Germany by speaking broken accentuated German by asking "Döner mit Alles und scharf?".Forty Two wrote:It's a German invention based on the theft of the culinary culture of brown people.
