Probably about asbad as any attempt by Americans to do anything British/Irish/European/Indian/Pakistani/rest of the world then. It's almost as if it's hard to capture authenticity of an entire country's cuisine and culture when you have practically no exposure that isn't crap restaurants (or in America's case, their rancid imaginations). Mexicans move to Canada and the US, not the UK.

if you want to find an American cooking show doing an extremely bad job at making British food and laugh about that.... go ahead? no one's stopping you? i don't get what the point is here. GBBO tried to do something and they fucked it up, sorry about it i guess

And all of that is a fair excuse for why it didn't turn out well. But. You know. Nobody forced GBBO to do a Mexican week, so people have a right to be critical that they chose to "celebrate" Mexican cuisine and then inflicted that on us.

Probably? But I don't watch any US cooking shows so I can't compare.

To be fair, there are plenty of ethnic enclaves in the USA where you can find legit cooking from many regions of the world -- being cooked by people from those countries or people who are descendants (1st or 2nd gen) of those places.

People from all over the world move to the US/Canada. Canada has a big Caribbean enclave, as do certain states in the US, like NY, same goes for India, Pakistan, China, the Philippines, etc.

Are you going to find the best Indian food in Colby, KS? Probably not. But if you go to a place where there's enough people/a community, you'll find it.

If what you're implying is that a person with no origins, connections, or exposure to the food or culture wants to cook it and make it authentic, then that's different, but I think they can learn and should (if they have the opportunity) try the cuisine.

I agree that exposure is needed to help people cook better. I've seen Americans try to do British food and cringed. It's not all beige. A Brit would be able to cook a mean Indian dish because having a large Indian population means more exposure to that style of cooking. There are hardly any Mexican restaurants that aren't either in London only, or a Taco Bell. It's no wonder the contestants were terrible because the only Mexican food a Brit will see is in a Taco meal kit.

“or in America's case, their rancid imaginations”

What a stupid thing to add.
