Should white chefs sell burritos?

South Africans don't know how to make or spell Biryani. There, I said it....have been holding it in for 8 years!!

How's this for cultural appropriation?

Some Indian restaurants in London have started offering bunny chows due to demand from South African customers. Bunny chows are a South African Indian invention.

Therefore, Indian people living in London have culturally appropriated bunny chows from Indian people living in South Africa due to the influence of white people living in London.

Those bastards!
 
Does this mean that they believe that all the black and mexican people who work at McDonalds should be fired for appropriating white culture by cooking and selling hamburgers?

Try tell them that and see how they take it.
 
I bought Nachos at Spur once, never again. The real question should be, "should Spur kitchen staff make Mexican dishes?"

Well if it's not Durban style it's not a bunny.
 
How many proper chefs would ever be caught dead making a burrito btw?
They've usually got a bit of an air about them, if it isn't haute cuisine it isn't worthy of being cooked by them, or some such, burrito isn't exactly haute cuisine ...

That's because we have substandard Mexican food here. In the US, there are posh Mexican restaurants which have proper chefs, and make gourmet burittos

Wouldn't mind tasting this gourmet burrito, I just hope it isn't a bullshyte gimmick like those two retards from Buzzfeed who compare a cheap <insert some food here> to an expensive <insert some food here> and a ludicrously priced <insert some food here> and they always, without fail, conclude the ludicrously priced one is somehow worth it.

That crap drives me nuts, slapping black caviar and some gold leaf on a burger and charging $250 for it does NOT make it any more tasty, nor valuable, than a well constructed burger, end of story.

EDIT: and I actually quite like the sub-standard Mexican food here in the Cape, Remex is great!

Yeah, plus, what we think of as a burrito is already extremely westernized. A truly authentic Mexican burrito will mostly just have meat and beans inside. The whole slew of ingredients that you'll get in America are a western innovation, and mostly improve them IMO. Things like carne asada, salsa, sour cream, rojo arroz, guacamole, etc - all happened since the burrito crossed the border. Chances are also high that these ladies would have been using a mix of flour and cornmeal instead of just pure corn for the tortilla.
