Sirracha? How many American recipes call for that, or curry powder, for that matter?
OTOH, paprika, bay leaves, garlic ( and no, the Italians weren't the ONLY people who cooked with that! ), nutmeg, allspice, and quite a few other spices I can think of, were used in American dishes from early on in the nation's dishes and still are.
Revisionist history and now, NOW revisionist FOOD?
First, you get yourself a stewed moose...
I thought conservatives liked Siracha and Dems wanted to kick it out of the country?
At the moment, Sriracha is hot, at least if you happen upon the right drive-thru.
Can't say that I'd ever heard of it, however, until quite recently, at one of those drive-thrus (I ordered something else).

I add some Sirracha now & then to foods I want spiced up. Great in chili.

Indeed. An excerpt in the article itself says it’s been around only since 1980. And I’m quite certain it didn’t ship east of the Mississippi for another five years after that, and wasn’t available to Deplorable America for another five years after that. And that is one only eight flavors that “defined American cuisine”? Get the F out of here with that crap. She’s a lefty one-worlder living in a foodie echo-chamber.
“garlic ( and no, the Italians weren’t the ONLY people who cooked with that! ),”
The Japanese at least used to refer to Koreans as “garlic eaters”, not a complimentary term from their perspective.
Nopardons strikes again! A cookery book of America through the ages manages, in its oh-so-politically-correct way to come up with Siracha! All the spices you mention and are in all the early 18th century cookbooks - including garlic. And vanilla was discovered by an American slave??
invented by the brits.
