I think people should take authenticity to the extreme and cook European foods without all of these crazy ingredients from the new world. I'm sorry but tomatoes, potatoes, and corn are now banned.
European people used as much seasoning as they could get access to for most of history. Most of the time that was onions, garlic, mustard, and various other herbs and whatever that could be grown locally, but people generally used as much spice as they could afford and get access to. European food only became deliberately bland a like 200 years ago because of some weird bourgeois thing about poor people getting uppity if they ate spicy food or something, I can't remember the exact details.
But if you look at medieval recipes they use a startling amount of anise and stuff.
I care about authenticity in that the authentic version of a food is always going to be much better than the cheap Americanized version. But yeah fusion is good, combining different good things is basically what cooking is.
I like to eat fusion cuisine, however, authentic recipes have been refined over centuries and you can taste that. Sushi filled with mayo, corn, and avocado just isn't as good as the original, as is pizza with hollandaise and schnitzel, or whatever you want to call that stuff you get in western "Chinese" restaurants.
Fusion cuisine is good actually and anyone that cares about "authenticity" is a nerd.

hell yeah give me that precolumbian slop.
You okay babe? you've barely touched your unseasoned stew made entirely of root vegetables.
You joke but I eat root vegetable soup every day from the local coop and it's great
Yeah I typed it out and was like damn I want that now.
As one should in winter. My favorite part about this season is root vegetable soups and eating ungodly amounts of citrus.

if you don't cook it in a pot that's never been washed with soap over a wood fire then it's not authentic
mmmm turnip mash my favorite
