I don't care about what you eat. You could put pineapple on a pizza, or make a spam sushi roll for what I care.

But I do care about names. Because I expect things to be what they are called:

If I order a carbonara, I don't expect to find mushrooms, cream and onion on it. Same if I order a gazpacho made with the wrong ingredients, or if I order a certain kind of ramen...

It's fine if we do fusion cuisine, I love to experiment! But don't tell me a bun filled with lattuce and raw onions is a cheeseburger because it's not; call it a lattuce and onion sandwich dammit!

"If you added cream, this would be quite like a British carbonara..."
