But frequently an ethnic dish made to another ethnic group's taste can take on a life of its own. I believe that is common knowledge. It is made in a Chinese style, but it is American. Well, pizza really is Italian, but by all accounts there is no comparison between American Pizza and Italian Pizza. Marcello Mastroianni used to say that he wanted to do more American films because only when he came to America he could get good pizza.
American pizza is a whole different animal from real Italian pizza.
The same thing seems to be happening in other countries also. When I was in Wales I noticed that Indian restaurants had a dish I did not recognize. It was called a Balti. I had never heard of it served in US Indian restaurants. And for good reason.
