culinary fusion
Mixed food traditions
Culinary fusion is the blending of cooking traditions from different cultures or regions into a single dish or cuisine.
A Korean taco combines Mexican street food with Korean barbecue flavors.
Fusion cooking emerged as chefs began experimenting across cultural boundaries: The restaurant specializes in Asian-Latin fusion.
The term sometimes carries a whiff of gimmickry, suggesting novelty over substance.
