I just made a particularly righteous batch of quesadillas. That got me thinking about ethnic foods...

I have heard the claim the pizza is not authentic Italian food. That is, they don't make it in Italy--or at least they did not invent it there. True or false?

I have also heard that tacos are not authentic Mexican food, but rather a north-of-the-border approximation to Mexican food. True or false?
