Certainly one of my biggest pet peeves. If I had a nickel for everybody that got in my ear about "authentic" Mexican food and of course was talking about one particular regional cuisine: Tex-Mex, Southwest American, Californian Mexican, Mexico City, . . .
The search for authenticity in food is a weird obsession anyway since cuisine changes on contact with new ingredients.
