Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

After the Columbian exchange, all food everywhere became Native American fusion food. So quickly, so thoroughly, that it is hard to even imagine their cuisines before tomatoes and chili peppers and potatoes. But the recipes, the beloved dishes passed down across generations? Brutally erased.
