Oh and with fusion food for me at least the problem is the implication (as with so much cultural appropriation) that the bastardised version is "inventive" and "hip" in a way the original isn't.

Can you unpack this for me? My reaction is basically "...isn't it, though?" I mean, almost by definition blending cuisine styles is going to come up with something different than either parent, and if it's original and any good why wouldn't you call it inventive? Why shouldn't it be hip?
