What is the defination of fusion cuisine?

Answer 1

Fusing, or combining, two different cooking styles or flavors that usually do not go together, like Thai-Brazilian or Caribbean-French. You use the defining aspects of each style of cooking (poaching, stir-frying, etc.) along w/ usualy and common ingredients of each (chili powder, ginger, white sauce, masa cornmeal, etc.) and mix them w/ the common cookign styles and flavors of another cuisine. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Answer 2

A combination of two or more cuisines. Most frequently used to describe a mixture of Chinese and Western cooking. For instance, here in NZ whitebait, oysters and crayfish are popular. A chow mein made with these ingredients would be fusion cuisine.

Answer 3

All fusion really means is the combination of different styles of food. Chinese fusion could have french influences....or american...etc. Generally fusion food happens where one area has a large population of an outside group. Where two cultures meet.
