    If Australian Sushi is cultural appropriation, I’d love to hear this person justify “New York Pizza”.

    New York Pizza is famous globally and recognised as something different to Italian style Pizza. Is that also cultural appropriation?

      culture is a thing that evolves over time and place, it shouldn’t have to be preserved in the “correct” version if the origin is acknowledged.

      these things exist outside of western culture too. I’d be surprised if all the types of dumplings weren’t derivatives of each other.

        The deep pan type of pizza, where it’s more of a cheese pie than a flat pizza.

          That’s Chicago deep dish. New York pizza is what we get here. The crust is thicker than Italian and is loaded with more toppings.

            New York pizza is what we get here.

            I dunno, I think it’s a pretty even split between NY and Italian these days, at least in Melbourne anyway.

            New York pizza is an extra large pizza with big, floppy, greasy slices.

            As others have said. You were describing Chicago pizza.

            Having been to new york, the new york pizza is a piece of burnt corrugated cardboard pita bread spread with grease and thin red paper near-meat circles. It is not really all that edible. It is not similar to pizza here in Australia.

      Well, seeing as how tomatoes are from the Americas, who is appropriating who.

        Oh boy! That’s a whole different can of worms:
        isn’t it curious how similar pizza is to Middle Eastern flat breads with toppings? And how Italians invented spaghetti shortly after Marco Polo returned from China where he would have been exposed to noodle dishes?
