Idk man 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.
All three foods in the meme are delicious

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
I miss German döner so much. It’s just not right elsewhere, and I can’t understand why.
… One time I asked for a doner in Stuttgart. And they ask me “Spicy or no Spicy?” I am curious so I say Spicy. It’s fucking curry. They added some sort of Indian curry to a kebab.
So yeah, I don’t know if it’s a normal thing in Germany, but I am judging you as an entire nation over this. It wasn’t even bad, it was pretty good actually. Just… Why?
That’s not normal, and they should be ashamed. The normal hot sauce is more like a chili crisp.
Most often the changes I saw till now is the missing (red) cabbage and the bread is different.
But yeah, I’m with you: I haven’t yet found one that is better or even equal to the real one
I also don’t find many places near me that have the mystery meat on the spindle. That’s a prerequisite. I also don’t know what’s in the “scharf” sauce but it seems hard to find too.
Yeah I feel you. The Belgian dürüm variety is actually quite good, if very different. Fries in there and a crazy sauce selection absolutely slaps.
Babi pangang up in this motherfucker
You telling me a Foe Yong’d this Hai?
And every brit is legally required to bring up chicken tikka masala when talking about fusion food.

I fucking wish. I lived in France 20+ years ago and loved the stuff. Came back to the US and have been waiting to see a good Döner kebab for over 2 decades now.
In the states, is döner kebab basically the same as gyro or shawarma?
Shawarma is the closest I’ve found, but it’s not quite the same. Gyros usually are made with pitas, which isn’t how the kebabs I used to eat were made.
I had tex-mex / Indian fusion once and it was surprisingly good.

Well, colonialism did bring tomatoes and potatoes to Europe.

said cultural exchange happens without colonialism. look at sweet potatoes.
that’s like saying well, without rape, there wouldn’t be rape babies, and implying that we should thank rapist for their lives.

Things like cane sugar could never grow anywhere near a Northern climate. If you want that to influence an entire continent’s food you can only do that through an account incredibly unfair deal (like cash crop colonialism).
You certainly don’t get a ton of culinary creativity when you’re paying a fair (read: expensive) price for goods grown halfway around the world. They’re too precious to be anything but a novelty for the rich.

you still can get trade. and why do we need everywhere in the world to have the same foods?
