Chili peppers are native to Americas too, by that logic Thai, Indian, Korean, Ethiopian and Szechuan cuisines are American?

    No? Like I said, Italian immigrants brought pizza to America. They didn't come to America and then invent pizza. Trade routes brought chili peppers to those areas and they did new and interesting things with them to incorporate them into their cuisine in fundamental ways. I'm just saying that those dishes are recent, not completely coopted.
