what if i told you that a lot of “Americanized” versions of foods were actually the product of immigrant experiences and are not “bastardized versions”

That’s actually fascinating, does anyone have any examples?

Chinese-American food is a really good example of this and this article provides a good intro to the history http://firstwefeast.com/eat/2015/03/illustrated-history-of-americanized-chinese-food

I took an entire class about Italian American immigrant cuisine and how it’s a product of their unique immigrant experience. The TL;DR is that many Italian immigrants came from the south (the poor) part of Italy, and were used to a mostly vegetable-based diet. However, when they came to the US they found foods that rich northern Italians were depicted as eating, such as sugar, coffee, wine, and meat, available for prices they could afford for the very first time. This is why Italian Americans were the first to combine meatballs with pasta, and why a lot of Italian American food is sugary and/or fattening. Italian American cuisine is a celebration of Italian immigrants’ newfound access to foods they hadn’t been able to access back home.

Stuff you Missed in History Class has a really good podcast overview of “Foreign Food” in the US.

This is also true of Viet-Cajun food. Refugees of the Vietnam War came over here, moved to the Huston (I think) area, fell in love with Cajun food but also wanted to use a “taste of home” so to speak, and a new style of food was born. And interestingly enough a Vietnamese lady went to the US, fell in love with Viet-Cajun food, brought it back to Vietnam with her, using ingredients native to Vietnam, and called it Viejun. If you wanna learn more about this entire phenomenon, I would highly highly recommend watching Ugly Delicious on Netflix, it’s an amazing show that talks all about fusion food and stuff like that
