A great amount of “traditional” culture is a rather recent invention. Think about chillies used in asian cuisine etc.

That was a mind blowing moment for me recently. I've been doing a lot of Asian cooking, particularly Thai.
My favorite chili has been Thai chilis, but I thought they were hard to find, and could only find them in Asian Groceries.
Then I found out they are just bird eye chilis, which are a lot easier to find.
