Going to Panda Express and expecting authentic Chinese cuisine is probably roughly equivalent to going to McDonalds and expecting authentic American cuisine. There are a lot of McDonalds in foreign countries, and I suppose that people there might think that's authentic American cuisine. An American will eat at a McDonalds and say that its OK, but it isn't where they are going to go if they want a good hamburger and fries.
Exactly. I don't think the point of the video was for anyone to say Panda is authentic Chinese food lol

I have seen similar things with friends/acquaintances on social media - though I don't know how the food really tasted, apparently everything they had was "amazing" because it was authentic Indian food or authentic Thai food. There's good and bad food, regardless of authenticity or country of origin.

I think unless you really do your research before hand, it's going to be hit and miss for finding good food in a country you're not familiar with and know little about in terms of nightlife/restaurants/cooking styles etc.

So yea, I just thought it was a funny reaction from the older people and people in the thread trying to argue about nationality and Social Justice Warriors. Holy hell man lighten up lmao

Mexico is a really good place to go to see the poser phenomenon. American travelers who have grown up on Americanized Mexican food can't wait to experience authentic Mexican cuisine in Mexico. The trouble is that food throughout Mexico tends to be a bit on the bland side, even in nicer restaurants. It is hilarious to be on a bus with some young backpackers who are experiencing Mexico for the first time, because they will buy food from the vendors who board the bus at stops to sell food. They'll buy some tortillas filled with bathtub cheese and refried beans, and exclaim how delicious it is. And then you run into backpackers who have been in Mexico for a few weeks, and they will sometimes admit that they can't wait to get back to the US so that they can have some real Mexican food.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
