 what if i told you that a lot of "Americanized" versions of foods
 were actually the product of immigrant experiences and are
 not "bastardized versions"
 ace-and-ranty
 That's actually fascinating, does anyone have any examples?

 Chinese-American food is a really good example of this and
 this article provides a good intro to the history

 l took an entire class about Italian American immigrant cuisine
 and how it's a product of their unique immigrant experience
 The TL;DR is that many Italian immigrants came from the
 south (the poor) part of ltaly, and were used to a mostly
 vegetable-based diet. However, when they came to the US
 they found foods that rich northern Italians were depicted as
 eating, such as sugar, coffee, wine, and meat, available for
 prices they could afford for the very first time. This is why
 Italian Americans were the first to combine meatballs with
 pasta, and why a lot of Italian American food is sugary and/or
 fattening. Italian American cuisine is a celebration of Italian
 immigrants' newfound access to foods they hadn't been able
 to access back home.
