It's like stamping a Union Jack on "traditional fish and chips" except the fish is a salmon en croute and the chips are crisps.

This is probably the best argument against it. It's also not the same as me at home cooking jerk style veggie food (I mean, I use allspice so win there too) which is fine, but the guy is taking something from somewhere, doing it all wrong and flogging it. It's a bit like protected origin stuff like champagne and parmasan abuse as much as anything else.

Read the history of the hawian Pizza if you haven’t. There are loads of examples though.
I think we are a little precious about culture, it’s not something static it never has been. It’s like when people get annoyed with language development and new words.

I'm well aware of culture being a big, mixed, changing melting pot. That's not why this is shitty though, it's basically mislabeling something, claiming it's something that's important to a group of people when it's not that thing to make a profit for someone with no connection to said group.
