Absolutely gorgeous article.
I had no idea our sushi rolls and banh mi were so divergent. How long until “Australian Banh Mi” is a thing overseas?

“Lemonade” has several different meanings depending on where you are. Is Aussie lemonade carbonated?
Nath@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Yes. But our lemonade is basically what you know as Sprite. Sprite is just a brand of lemonade among many.
We also have a drink we call Lemon Squash - which is like your lemonade, only carbonated.
I actually really enjoyed US style lemonade. Very refreshing. I think it would do ok if introduced to the drinks fridges here.

Funnily enough, lemon squash is what we call it when the elderly play racket sports

The wonderful thing about food is that it’s always changing. People shit on stuff for not being “authentic” but frankly I think it’s delightful how different traditions come together to play. Mixing and matching until the local food reflects the available ingredients and preferences of the populous.
I mean I make a mean lemon tofu which is a derivative of lemon chicken which is a derivative of a Cantonese style that was adapted for churning out cheap and appealing food so migrants could work at takeaway stores and get visas.
Food tells a story, wherever you have it and however you have it. Appreciating that is imho the more joyful approach than trying to fix it in time.

Historically, ‘authentic’ food was probably half rotten anyway.
