Sure, we should agree on what things are called (a hamburger is made of ground beef unless otherwise specified), but if someone wants to put hot sauce or wasabi or marmalade on their breakfast, what the hell do I care? If I go into a restaurant and order a Brooklyn-style bagel with lox and cream cheese, and THEY put the hot sauce on it, then we have a problem. If they provide it as a condiment, well, that's just very gracious of them to be so accommodating and broadminded. In my world, "authentic food" means "digestible food" and nothing more.
