On the coattails of your Bobby Fkay Post: I saw a recipe for "Mexican Street Corn Soup" on FB that used cilantro, onion, heavy cream, chicken broth, and queso fresco from a White Mommy Blogger. The first comment correctly pointed out those ingredients are not in MSC (EVER!) and said OP should be honest with her title, changing it to chowder. The rest, from non Mexicans, were statements along the lines of "Cuisine is what you want it to be!" "Stop crying cultural appropriation!" Your Thoughts?
I mean, thatās not even cultural appropriation- itās just false advertising. If someone calls a recipe Mexican Street Corn anything, thereās very specific flavors I have in mind, and intentionally not bringing any of that? Itās not the same thing at all. I mean, I can kinda see some of it, like the chicken broth and cream being needed to make it a soup, and maybeĀ cotija wouldnāt work great for the soup, but come on.
Itās like sayingĀ āThis is my recipe for pizza!ā and then serving me a cheeseburger, because well itās got a baked wheat-based base and a tomato-based sauce and cheese and meat on it, and isnāt that really the same thing?
No. It isnāt.
Aaaaaaaand now I want street corn. Dammit.
