@mic there’s northern and southern Vietnamese pho that have come to California and Texas and evolved separately on their own as well. I also like that most immigrant foods also interact and fuse with each other for example many Vietnamese dishes use a Puerto Rican coconut beverage, as in the 70s it was hard to get imports from Vietnam. Lots of ways in which immigrant. Foods have interacted with each other and not just with the dominant group.

Vietnamese Cajun food is a real and amazing thing in Texas. There’s Chinese food in St Louis heavily influenced by African-American foods. There’s Chinese-Fuban and Chinese-Venezuelan foods. And my favorite American cuisine of all, the food of the Gullah Geechee people
