I love this article! So many thoughts I feel like this deserves a panel to discuss everything.
I’m sure you follow Maya (fitgreenmind)- I think she sets a good example of acknowledging non-traditional variations of intl dishes. Any thoughts on her approach?
I could totally see a cultural appropriation or culture in food panel being a thing haha. I like her approach as well - respectful and encourages exploration :)
Love this call to progress beyond the discourse of what is/isn't appropriation to why certain ingredients/crops/foods are appropriate while others aren't. The wellness world really loves to cherrypick and I'm so curious if we can backtrace these trends to certain people or events that mainstreamed foods to the point of appropriation. Your note on "giving credit where credit is due and without exoticizing these ingredients" will definitely be sticking with me!
Thanks Kayla! Totally resonate with what you said about tracing these trends to people or events. I kept the discussion pretty broad here but I think a deep dive about a particular ingredient or recipe can reveal so much about how and why cultural appropriation happens. That's definitely how I felt when I did my project on khichdi in school!
