Yeah, even just having more different ingredients and spices available makes those recipes of old somewhat obsolete. But then you also have the internet to tell you all kinds of new recipes, so if the local cuisine isn't great to begin with, it is easier than ever to not bother with it.

Yeah, 40 years ago was a food desert compared to today just because of the dearth of information. We got our area's first Greek restaurant 35 years ago. Granted we also have so much more available now (the citrus selection at the SEA market puts whole foods to shame. They have like 5 kinds of kumquats. local whole foods doesn't even have loquats) so sometimes it's hard to remember how limited our diets were even two decades ago.

Like, I just started making my own gyro. Grinding my own beef/pork mix (lamb is expensive and my lamb guy got a new job instead of working at the dispo so I need a new lamb guy) and getting some herbs in there. I never thought I could do that. Thank you internet.
