Current Events > What isn't fusion cuisine?

(+) Yeah! (+)

For example...:

Potatoes are from the South America, so any country (not in South America) that has potatoes in it's cuisine is basically fusion.

Chilies, and Bell Peppers are from South America, so any non-South American country with Chilies -- is basically fusion cuisine...

Tomatoes again, are from South America -- so any country that isn't South America is again fusion cuisine.

Cows are from Turkey/Syria, so any dish with bovine diary (that isn't buffalo/bison) is basically fusion cuisine.

Chicken is from Northeast Asia/China or India -- so unless you're from those regions any cooking containing chicken is again, basically fusion cuisine.

Sugar is originally from India, so any dish using sugar that isn't from India is basically fusion cuisine.

What signature dishes can you think that use usually wholly native ingredients?
I can think of one off the top of my headAkutaq (Alaskan ice cream), which is made from whipped fat/Tallow (from Caribou, native to the area), meat, and berries (again, native to the area).

Probably not just the ingredients but how it's prepared

Sheep -- The domestic sheep descends from the wild Asian mouflon in (southwest Asia).
So no, Haggis is definitely fusion cuisine from Asia of all places!

What about that fermented shark in Iceland?

Raw ingredients do not fusion cuisine make.

What Is Fusion Cuisine?
Essentially, this catch-all term means bringing together ingredients from different cultures and merging recipes. This technique of joining culinary forces offers truly novel flavor combinations and unique menu offerings that customers cant find elsewhere. Fusion food has a complex history whose origins cant be easily pinpointed. It has likely been around for centuries, as long as humans have been exchanging facets of their culture.
Many dishes we know today as belonging to a certain culture actually originated from an entirely different family of cuisine. For example, spaghetti, The Smithsonian has pointed out, was perfected by Chinese chefs before it ever made its way to Italy (and tomatoes were only added to European cuisine after colonizers reached North America.)

See the problem with that is that youve quoted ingredients from other cultures and taken it to mean ingredients from other places.
