npub1a84tmgpk7wgwypwgud3jcl89jsletefts6cd0mpnacceyy50u72s4kwlgu (npub1a84…wlgu) Example of cultural dilution I've run into frequently which is erasure: substitutions in recipes which are inauthentic. If someone uses maple syrup or stevia in Asian cooking I can't hit the Back button fast enough.
But there's been an *explosion* of these kinds of recipes such that it has become difficult to avoid them when looking for traditional foods from across Asia. AI at work?
(My BFF teases me at this point about a Margaret Cho routine, "This is not the salad of my people!")
