Please don't bring this topic up. The more you uncover the more depressing it gets.

Just stop.

The failure to recognize and acknowledge
reality is a lethal problem, because you cannot take proper action unless you correctly perceive the facts.

True but let's discuss these stuff behind closed doors/offline.

We'll need to come up with new unique dishes secretly and then act like we had them for centuries.

Only way to cover for our sins.

So many nations have dishes where the ingredients come from other places but it's their national cuisine. Somalis have a rich cuisine walahi billahi

I don't think most people realise this. That and cambuulo is a national embarrassment, it's the highest form of poverty food. I'll be glad the day they get rid of it.

That's a poor take. It's like saying pizza isnt the most quintessential Italian dish because tomatoes originate in south/central America.

Also I think your confusing kidney beans with adzuki beans which is the cambuulo that grows in the south

Also sometimes spelled azuki and aduki,adzuki beans are small, red beans originating from China and are popular in Asian cooking. Although they are also simply referred to asred beans, they should not be confused withkidney beans, which are twice the size and shaped like kidneys.

wow, interesting, thanks for the input.
