FAQ About The Impact of Cultural Appropriation in Culinary Arts

Examples of cultural appropriation in culinary arts include using traditional dishes in a way that misrepresents their cultural significance. For instance, a Western chef might take a traditional Chinese dish, alter its ingredients and style for mass appeal, and then market it without crediting or understanding the original culture's contribution. Another example could be renaming dishes without acknowledgment of their true origins, stripping away their history and cultural meaning.
