Fusion kitchens are the best and maybe the only good thing to come out of colonialism. Indonesian-Dutch food slaps. Vietnamiese-French cuisine kicks my ass. Must I bring up Italian coffee or Swiss chocolate? Turkish-German Döner is so popular it is sold basically everywhere now.

    Well, colonialism did bring tomatoes and potatoes to Europe.

    >Fusion kitchens are the best and maybe the only good thing to come out of colonialism Well, there's also a pretty good music that jazz doesn't happen the way it did without putting European instruments in the hands of formerly enslaved Africans. Would be a lot cooler world if we could figure out how to evolve our art and culture without crimes against humanity, tho.

    I want to protest the Döner one. Other countries sell something they call Döner, but the similarity is superficial at best to a real one. It's a fun little thing I do on vacation in other European countries: try to find a "Döner" and see what travesty they give me

    And every brit is legally required to bring up chicken tikka masala when talking about fusion food.

    I had tex-mex / Indian fusion once and it was surprisingly good.
