Fusion-‘Ha’! Is Asian Fusion Food Ruining Classic Dishes?

I’ve been noticing lately a lot of different Asian Fusion foods. I’m also seeing two camps of thought here. One being “WHAT ARE THEY DOING THEY”RE RUINING ASIAN CUSINE!!!!” or I hear “DUDE LOOK, THERE’S KOREAN BBQ IN ON NACHOS!”. Now I disagree with both camps to some extent. The Asian food purest don’t want anyone to mess with the original cuisine. The issue with that is that we’ve been doing it forever. We’ve been taking recipes and flavours and cooking techniques since we could cook. If a combination of two different foods makes some genuinely taste better than I’m all for it. On the other side, we got people who think if you mash two things two it’ll just taste better. For example, in Vancouver, we got something called Pho Nacho’s, and its exactly what it sounds like. You put Pho ingredients on Nachos. Now Beef I can get behind but bean sprouts? MINT! First off bean sprouts are crunchy and tasteless why would I want that on Nachos? It was meant to kill soak up soup and cut through the fat in Pho. I’m not even going to argue about mint.
