(snip) According to the press release, National Geographics Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted, scheduled to air next year, promises three key ingredients: unlocking a cultures culinary secrets through exploration and adventure with local food heroes; tracking down high-octane traditions, pastimes and customs that are specific to the region in hopes of discovering the undiscovered; and, finally, testing Ramsay against the locals, pitting his own interpretations of regional dishes against the tried-and-true classics.
Lets look at all three elements.
The first two are about a sweary, loud-mouthed chef with little understanding of a countrys cuisine, traipsing around with a camera crew, discovering their centuries-old culinary secrets, traditions and customs.
And lets not forget the bit about local food heroes but why not ask the said heroes to front their own TV show? Why does it take a white chef to discover their cuisine and present it as if it were a spectator sport?
Let the experts speak about their own food, let them tell their own stories and please, lets not turn this into entertainment to prod, poke and point a finger at.
The undiscovered has remained undiscovered to a foreign audience anyway precisely because the so-called natives have been given little opportunity to talk about it.
Its the third part of the statement thats had everyone riled though.

If I followed true to my ancestor's culture I'd be stuck eating haggis, potatoes and some weird cod dishes.

Everyone in the world who wears blue Jeans needs to take them off. I am offended they are stealing our culture.

Are the Italians allowed to use tomatoes? Because as far as I’m concerned, they stole that stuff from our precious Indians.

Ask the restaurant owners and chefs who have appeared on his show how they feel about it. I bet they did quite well after the free advertising.

Since the Indians had such fine “cuisine” (raw moose and buffalo chips crisped). /S
You could’ve given their cultures thousands of tons of gold and all they would’ve done with it was put it on chains and nose rings.
This idiotic idea that all cultures are equal and deserving of respect is lunacy, but that’s where we are today.

Cultural-appropriation of food is bad?! So I can't eat Mexican food while demanding that illegal alien Mexicans are rounded up and deported? No Chinese food while demanding Chinese spies be executed and we block commerce with China? No Italian food? Oh, that's okay because we have better American-Italian food. Our pizza! Oops, I'm a mix of Lithuanian, Polish, German, Scottish, and Irish. Guess beer is okay with kiebasa and saurkraut.

She can take her “cultural appropriation” and shove it in her fat a**. I’m going to eat some lasagna or Kung Pao chicken and listen to some classic Motown tunes. Some whiny libtard isn’t going to stop me.

We would all be eating raw meat , charred or otherwise, and dying of diseases early if we didn’t have cultural food appropriation
Plus most Indians stink because of their diets

Cultural-appropriation of food is not OK
According to whom?
What gives 'them' the authority to determine what is cultural appropriation?
They can take their PC and cram it. If I want a taco, I'll fix a taco. If I want spaghetti, I'll fix spaghetti. If 'they' don't like it, tough.

Fortunately, the food from around the world I buy and cook doesn’t seem to be offended when I eat it, and that’s all that really matters, isn’t it.

perhaps the author would like to stop culturally appropriating computers, public transportation, clothing, electricity and the LNG he uses to cook his culturally-appropriate food.

Have all minorities stop eating burgers, fries, and pizza, mac and cheese, etc.
This stupid ass sh1t compartmentalization of what certain people can and cant do has to be humiliated and ended.
