I don’t think I have actually ever seen any actual indigenous individual of a culture get mad at someone for cooking food from their own culture.
But I don’t know if that’s because the people who would’ve been mad about it got genocided and no longer exist, or if it’s because people actually just don’t care.
The people I HAVE witnessed getting angry about that sort of thing … were white. I suppose they’re trying to be ‘culturally sensitive’ but isn’t that just kinda … patronizing and infantilizing? low-key “talking over” them? As if to imply they need a white savior swooping down to the rescue >.< it just makes me uncomfortable.

White people just can’t stand to be uninvolved. They don’t call it brown knighting now, do they?
