OP was never wrong per say, but boy it does leave a rather bad taste in one’s mouth to see a beloved and historically dirt-cheap staple be remade by white ppl to upsell and stamp with labels so it can be more palatable for their fellow white ppl.
@junglejim_69420@grvsnivis He changed the name of the dish.
Its called Sorbetes.
Its like me saying "I developed a recipe for almond flour merringue cookie sandwiches" instead of js saying macarons.
@LegitmaidoF "I worked really hard on developing my own recipe for Filipino Ube sorbetes (yada yada)"
See how easy that is.
You acknowledged its roots and called it what its called.
You could at the very least acknowledge that there is already a recipe for the same thing with historic significance to the culture whos cuisine youre making an ode to.
For so long have Filipino sorbeteros struggle against traditional ice cream, and youre here not giving credit
@luirwin Its not about claiming invention over the recipe. Its about not giving due credit to the history of what hes making, then having the audacity to say hes representing a culture for an event.
i wasn’t gonna jump on this bc people are being dense but the mockery is pissing me off. italians can react with outrage at every pasta bastardization but filipinos can’t react in any type of way about something native to us that we’ve been seeing get gentrified around the world?
@kingofmeereen If he was trying to make it as “Filipino genuine” as possible, then it wouldnt be that much of a stretch to just call it what Filipinos would call it.
Besides, he said he consulted Filipinos, so he knew it already existed. So why not just say that?
@kitten_ruby@prettycritical Because hes claiming to do it for an event that celebrates the history of AAPI culture.
Besides, he said he is working with Filipinos, if so he couldnt have possibly not known about it
@MelonCat_12@MKatwood Im pretty sure some of the gems were not part of Judaism! In fact Im pretty sure most of them were atheists (Sorry for the bad joke)
