Yay! Can we go after “deconstructed” too? I hate that word, especially when used in culinary context.
You’ll have to argue with Derrida over that - I never paid much attention, except to rail against the ultimately meaningless gobbledygook of words.
(But it IS amazing how many academics, over the last couple of decades, have made a lot more money than I - and perhaps you - have ever made, by filling young brains with nonsense. Deconstruction may have some weird, narrow usefulness somewhere in the study of language and semiotics; but beyond - and perhaps even including - those, I think it will ultimately come to no good and a fool’s errand.)
I’ve never seen it used in a ‘culinary’ sense - unless, dumbed-down, it just means examining the various parts, and coming up with viable substitutions.
Cooking is actually a very practical, hands-on, down-to-Earth art; it’s not Ivory Tower, pie-in-the-sky, navel-gazing...:-)
