I think I left it open to misunderstanding, but what I meant by authentic in this context was "shortest and less-tampered path from nature to ingestion". Foe example, in restaurants they may have frozen meat for long time or in bad condition. Vegetables and sauces maybe be re-used. Unknown ingredients may be mixed to enhance taste, color or smell. By authentic you kinda go to your local fishmarket, buy the fish (in here we got fresh non-frozen), buy groceries and make that food the same day. By making the food yourself you know what you are putting inside your mouth :) sorry for any misunderstanding, English is not my first language.
