The Atlantic recently published a story about national cuisines that piqued my interest. I am familiar with the great Dulce De Leche Debacle in Argentina and Uruguay because I wrote a paper about it for a food history class I took at UCLA a few years back. But I hadn't given much thought to other common regional foods that might cause conflict. Cultural and Ethnic identity is certainly bound up in the foods we eat, but here in the US we don't see flag burning or diplomatic relations cut off because someone claims that, oh I don't know, Barbecue is original to Texas and not to North Carolina. It's a crazy world out there.
