That's always how ethnic food works though. It always starts with the original base food then gets modified by the local culture to fit their tastes and available ingredients. Chinese is the same. American Chinese food isn't the same as Indian Chinese food which isn't the same as French Chinese food. American Thai food isn't 100% authentic either, it's just different than Indian food because it's not based on Indian food.

Sooooo...

If it's all different, then it's not the same.

And if it's not the same, it's not a single thing "praised worldwide".

It's impressive how long people keep commenting on this thread, but still super weird y'all keep agreeing with me but acting like you're explaining what I said to me.
