  2. Yes, cuisines become more and more globalized. When I was a kid, we basically only had our own national food. Now there's food from so many countries in every city.

  3. You're right. The chili pepper originates in South America, and was then spread by the Portuguese (or Spanish), first to Europe, then Africa, then Asia. Exactly when it arrived in Asia is hard to say, but probably in the early 16th century. It has certainly found great success here. Practically every South-, South-East-, and East Asian country is in love with chili.

  8.  @albertwugamedev  When does a food become authentic? Pad Thai, one of the most iconic Thai dishes was created less than 100 years ago.
