A lot of the key ingredients in various cuisines came from what's now known as Mexico, and the Americas in general:
- Tomatoes (Italian food)
- Chilies (A ton of asian food)
- Avocados
- Corn
- Cacao (Swiss chocolate)
- Vanilla
- Potatoes
It's no surprise that a lot of dishes are not truly "authentic" (Whatever that means).

- christkv 4y agoYeah what we think of spicy Asian dishes existed some time after the 16th century as the Europeans brought chilies with them eastwards. Funny thing is that it did not really get broad adoption in Europe.
- Kon-Peki 4y ago> Cacao (Swiss chocolate) It was used to flavor drinks for hundreds/thousands of years in the Americas. But chocolate in a solid form suitable for baking is a European invention; and bars/pieces of chocolate that you would eat as a standalone item are from the UK, if I'm not mistaken.
