Is french cooking considered as "ethnic" cuisine?

posted in french cooking |

what about Spanish or Portuguese cuisine?

Being a former chef, an ethnic cuisine is anything cooked or bought that is not indiginous to that country,so anything that is not from YOUR country and that originated there, but in some sence all food is ethnic, even in the US were they claim apple pie, hot dogs and other foods as there national foods, they were imported by the immigrants who moved there, only corn and few fruits are really a indiginously produced product.

I am from Canada and like you in the US or even Europe, all foods were from another area at one time and then brought in and adapted to the local climate and palates.

    Any dishes that are specific to a particular country are ethnic so that would include French, Spanish and Portuguese.
