I've been cooking for a long while, and there is an argument for authenticity: when so many corners have been cut that the current food item no longer resembles the original. The same can be said for knockoffs and copycats.

I've made some food items the "authentic" way and discovered the shit served in restaurants are garbage in comparison because of all the corners they cut, making my home cooking stand out.

Things like substituting ingredients cause the local variant of cabbage is not right is not a legitimate cause for concern, nor is omitting minor items.

Also, uncle roger is calling out some the batshit stupid shit some cooking shows do, he's not hurting cooking at all, just making fun of some the worst in the foodtube community.

At first I thought they were being pissy for no reason, then I actually followed an Italian recipe at home and saw what they were complaining about. A lot of what Americans get served in "Italian" restaurants are basically the $5 rollex knockoff variant from Italy, or in other words, cheap garbage. What I made at home knocked the socks of high end restaurant food, it was quite the shock. And I was just using boxed pasta (which Italians would get pissed at me for using).

Now, if you don't know any better, that garbage tastes fine (if bland) to you. However, once you know better, it sticks out and is pretty insulting. So I get where Italians are coming from now.

I have traveled all up and down Central America. Mexican cuisine is objectively not great. Shitty food covered by spices or cheese to hide how overdone, cheap, and bad it is. Mex-american food is pretty authentic to that.

I will say though, the grilled lobster in Belize was fantastic, best way to cook those little buggars in my opinion.

It really is. Half of the shit that people, mostly Italians tbhonest, insist is some holy traditional food and must be made exactly as your long dead ancestors made it, is some shit that's been around for less than a hundred years, such as carbonara. I don't give a fuck how your grandma made something, if I'm spending good money at a restaurant for good food, I want to experience something new, something I can't do on my own, and I say this as a chef. A desperate appeal to tradition, in the form of insisting upon authenticity in the culinary world, only results in stagnation, in people suppressing their creativity in order to just get their restaurant to make money. I have to do that a lot, already, working in the Midwest, but if I then had to make fried rice exactly the same way your chink grandma made it, I'd probably just get a job in construction.

[Anonymous No.16519439]

I love authenticity, as someone whose cooking is a hobby it's a lot of fun and it's interesting to experience different cultures
For me authenticity when in the context of a dish for example 'Beef Goulash', 'Ragu alla Bolognese' is never meant to be the best version of a dish, it's not about the only tasty version of a dish, in fact a lot of the time when I'm making an authentic version of a dish I have to resist the temptation of using certain cooking technique which would likely improve the dish for example not browning the meat before making a stew or using the spices in a suboptimal way, merely because I want to cook something that is authentic
As far as uncle rogers I don't really think he's complaining about authenticity but about the quality of the fried rice due to the recipes technique, but I haven't watched many of his vids, would he complain about a technically authentic video with non traditional ingredients?

I'm chinese and my father and my grandparents were mainland chinese who opened up a chinese restaurant and it was open for 30 years, they served westernised chinese food which was very popular but what do you think they ate at home with their family? What food do you think I grew up eating? It certainly wasn't the same food that they cooked at the restaurant.
When they first came here their cooking was quite limited to what they could buy here, for example certain ingredients were impossible, sometimes certain vegetables were impossible to find and so they either substituted or grew their own but what do you think they did when authentic chinese ingredients became more available? They went straight back to them

Honestly I've seen way more 2nd gen and onward Chinese seething at white people trying to cook 'authentic' chinese food, going out of their way to use all authentic ingredients, using authentic techniques, etc, they get insecure about it because as children they just wanted to eat mcdonalds and white people food and be like everyone else (i.e white people) yet their parents never let them and so they tried to rebel from their culture and disown it, later on when they try to embrace a part of their heritage they see white people enjoying that heritage and it shakes them, they either abandon the concept of authenticity or they start accusing white people of cultural appropriation while cooking 'clean and healthy' white food
You see this even more with people who barely know how to speak chinese, I've talked to a lot of 2nd and 3rd gen chinese and the whole discussion of authenticity is a sore point for them

Like even with mainland chinese who come here as students, they aren't eating westernised chinese food they're eating at shitty fast food takes on chinese food cooked by chinese people for chinese people
Also read >>16519368, they were saying that chinese are 'anal' about chinese food having to be 'authentic' and then the anon I replied to said it was only 2nd gen chinese who cared which as I stated in my post, I just can't agree with since they're the ones who don't care about authenticity and they're the ones who get triggered when they see white people trying to bring authenticity to chinese cooking in the west

I get that a lot of immigrants choose not to teach their kids their language or anything about their native culture. What I find a bit annoying is when someone's country become "popular" they think their opinion matter just because they look the part and have some kind of ancestry there. At the same time some old school weeb from the deep south probably has a better understanding of both the culture and the language. So people latch on to food as a cultural stepping stone. It's shallow, but it doesn't matter. The person can finally "prove" to themselves that they are a part of their heritage. They are usually wrong, but that doesn't matter.

Authenticity is important. Recipes exist as they do for a reason, and you should at least make something close to the original before you start changing it to fit your needs.

I understand it's more work, but when you want to try something like green curry, it's good to source the original ingredients, make an authentic version, and then figure out what you can change or not based on your own tastes.

I work in a restaurant that serves a "Kung Pao" chicken bowl, which ends up being a chicken and vegetable curry made with Indonesian Peanut Sauce and served on top of noodles.

The original is chicken, chilis, peanuts and green onions. There's a simple marinade based on chinese wine, and it gets stir fried.

What do these dishes have in common? Very little. So little in fact, that they shouldn't even have the same name.

Of course, some screeching second-generation immigrant talking about how you didn't use the exact correct ingredients should be ignored. But authenticity is meaningful to a point.

[Anonymous No.16522968]

>>16519368
Chink here, in general Chinese don't care about authenticity. They argue with each other over which area does a certain dish better, and sometimes saying "this is the correct way to do it" gets mixed into the argument and makes it seem like its about authenticity. It's not about authenticity and more about rivalry.
As far as I know japs don't care, they're very open to doing weird shit to their own cuisine. It's only the more autistic chefs that will get upset, the average person doesn't care that American sushi is different.

Half and half. The authenticity crowd is inherently stuck and forget that every dish was once an innovation, on the other hand the people who complain about them by and large can't cook for shit and don't even understand the reasoning behind why the traditions work.
Say what you want about Italians, but at least their guidelines actually make culinary sense, e.g. cheese and fish often muddies the flavor of both without improving much.

[Anonymous No.16523961]

'Authentic' is a good idea, people just don't understand what 'authentic' means.
Mirepoix in french cooking is carrot, celery and onion.

french immigrants in America with Cajun, Luisiana Creole cuisine changed that to bell pepper, celery and onion, because of what ingredients were available. And adapted many french recipes and techniques for it.

Nowadays you might find some southern autist biting your head off about getting that wrong, but the truth is that 'authentic' has always been a fluid concept which adapts to people's circumstances. If you are genuine and trying to make genuine food, it's authentic for you to use the best, local, seasonal ingredients and sensible methods you have available. It's not that authenticity is bad it's just that you only need be authentic yourself, not to arbitrarily follow some other authentic culture.

Bullshit. That might be true in Italy (heh) but this is /ck/ after all. Here we don't substitute a single ingredient ingredient with something similar or add something that fits into the flavor profile.

I'd bet you want to call it "creativity" but here that's just a euphemism for I-don't-give-a-fuck. Like some filthy youtuber who cooks a curry missing 3 out of 4 of the typical spices, replaces the aroma that is key to the dish with something totally different and then adds a bunch of veggies from the fridge seemingly for the only reason they were about to go off.

I don't give a fuck if you want to do this at home, but doing this on youtube while giving the impression you're a trained cook who knows what he's doing and teaches how to do this dish makes you an assclown

No, authenticity is not the cancer killing cooking, lazy ass throwing shit together is.

I am Italian and what I get mad is not the fact you change the recipe, but that you change the recipe while keeping the name.
I believe it's pure dishonesty and simply creates confusion in the customer.

For what is worth, I hate when Italians do the same in their restaurant in other countries, like in Germany or England.

Italians are, to be fair, justified in their food autism considering how different it ends up being from the authentic version despite larping as the actual dish. Even then Italians are pretty cool about it. Blacks, Mexicans and Chinese are the most buttmad if the food isn't authentic but only if it's a white person who made it. Indians tend to be quite relaxed about food and don't consider western "Indian" food as Indian. Middle Easterners and Greeks tend to not care too much if the dish isn't authentic.

In my experience seething over food is less of a genuine grievance over the polluting of culture and more just wanting an excuse to feel superior to whitey

Objection. Italians are not at all more justified in this than anyone else. Italians started this bullshit here on /ck/ and others were joining in. It went from omg no cream, to omg you can only use Italian prosciutto to omfg you can't use anything but guanciale. These guys would say you need Italian DOP eggs for a proper carbonara if there was such a thing. There are many totally valid options for cured pork to make a carbonara sauce. Fuck Italians.

Unfathomly Based. Conquest is for some odd reason the most righteously satisfying thing out there. That is EXACTLY the thing that intrigues me. I keep thinking i want a delicious jap wife and a peace of mystery cake too. Got a DARK African chick at work with a pair of well shaped tits and while sex is not necesserelly the main thing on my mind, sucking on those chocolate milk bags is oddly what i obsess over. Also she has a very cute and feminine attitude towards me, that just kind of gets me way too erect. Like the thought of this jungle rowdy thornberry being all sweet and soft around me for being That white man ooooh. tl;dr i just stumbled the upon race play dynamic among our relationships

>>16524837

Oh that is just the cherry on top kind of based affection. Thats almost like a girl complementing you for a big Penis. Knock yourself out lad. It really seems to me that this kind of dynamic is the greatedt thing next to having a feminine amd looking up to you kind of girl. :D If she cooks well i'd be contemplating about marriage desu haha

You can't kill something that is a necessary part of human life. While I do think "authenticity" might be overstated in the current food trends, I still think there's plenty of room for creativity and exploration of ideas. If anything, there is more opportunity now than ever before.

Did this faggot ever backpedal on the shittalking he gave Hersha Patel for using excess water and draining her Basmati rice? The way South Asians typically cook it? I get that he's playing a character but if he's trying to provide some sort of educational angle he should've made that clear, even if he'd used it to segway into "but you shouldn't use Basmati for fried rice anyway".

I find it fun to cook foods the traditional ways and see how they turn out. Often the result is something nice. For me it's usually authentic chinese cooking, and obscure regional tea brewing practices.

It's self-evident that innovation beats stagnation in a practical art like cooking, so we know this is entirely about culture.
Sometimes it's cultural pride, like with the Italians. Sometimes it's trying to connect with a lost culture, like with 2nd+ generation immigrants or historical cooking. With white people it's a desire to be cosmopolitan and hip to everyone else's culture.
This trend didn't originate within cooking and isn't about food, it's part of the obsession people are having with culture lately.

I have a similar story except it's, this college-town-out-in-my-state's-rural-counties.
the Wok-n-Roll, we walked in expecting a restaurant, and instead we met A Grandma and A Nephew. Grandma took, and cooked, the orders. The best Vietnamese I've ever had by far. The nephew brought out waters, and the orders as they went out. It was just so crazy stinking good.

If you don't want to make something authentic, then fine. Who cares if it tastes good to you? But tell people it's your own take on the recipe. Otherwise you're just lying to them about what it's supposed to taste like.

This is why I hate Jon Stewart so much. He probably didn't start it but he popularized the whole "clown nose on, clown nose off" style of "comedy" where your criticisms have to be taken seriously. But when someone criticizes the comedian back they just go "It's just an act! A funny bit!"
