#ofc it isnt! theyre in a new land w different foods available + cooking styles/tools + neighbors + lifestyles + economic class.

i dont have the words to phrase this right but like. just bc a land is colonized doesnt mean that forever and always the products of that land are the colonizers. mexican food isnt spainsh (spain) food. algerian food isnt french food. usamerican food isnt british food.

there is history & culture before colonization. during occupation countries have unique experiences from their colonizers due to any number of factors(trading, economy, migration etc). and after independence those countries continue to have unique experiences that define their culture & food

i assure you that sometime in the past 250 years people have created new communities & cultures and that this is reflected in their cuisine
