What does "authentic" mean to you?

A word food snobs toss around like it means anything at all.

Not snitching, slanging rock, etc., etc

Nothing. Even people from the same region/country/city bicker about what is "authentic." It is subjective.

>>8389341
first post best post

Not using substitute ingredients.
Like, you make an authentic grilled cheese/toastie/local varient, I expect bread, butter and cheese, that's authentic, no tofu, no woven noodles, no cheese-substitute that you find on shitty pizzas. Bread. Butter. Cheese. Authentic.

Fuck all.

It means if you say you're making a particular dish, then you're using a recipe and ingredients that make up that dish as it should be

Reddit is awful for this "Hay guise! I made a traditional carbonara! It has peas, smoky bacon, Swiss cheese, cream and jalapeños! It was yummy!" Make whatever you want, using the ingredients you want, just don't call it something that it isn't. That isn't a carbonara.

This is essentially correct. Make up a new name for your special concoction. If the name is "catchy," you might be able to make youtube bucks. But don't, for an instance, pretend that you've made the centuries old original dish. Why is it centuries old, older than the US itself? Because it's superlative and any alteration diminishes it.

burger refers to a hamburger. A grilled ground beef patty. A chicken sandwich is a chicken sandwich.
