   Almost every variation of ‘I invented this recipe’ is just people online discovering drunk / student Asian / Mexican / other food

     My spouse and I do the same for Indian recipes. So many great Indian food videos by people who actually make the cuisine.

     @carrideen yeah one of the reasons I mostly look to Chinese social media for Chinese food recipes now. There’s a lot of regurgitated and not creative or good tasting stuff after it’s gone through this process a few times.

     Not saying you can’t take joy in making this stuff up, but literally any time you think you’ve invented delicious it’s probably not true. Just eat it and don’t claim the invention

     @skinnylatte I felt a little scandalized when all my favorite YouTube cooks did nearly identical videos about how to make biang biang noodles, and then they toss off a quick mention that they learned it from ordering the biang biang noodle kit from Xi'an Famous Foods. Like, OK, but why are you replicating and profiting from the instructions that come with Xi'an's "how to make biang biang noodles" kit?

     Every tiresome ‘do this to improve your instant ramen’ video is also just people discovering what literal children have been doing since our parents first left us at home for the first time
