American-

Pizza-Chinese

what?

Pasta-Chinese

most likely invented independently several times around the world

Hamburger-Mongol

what?

BBQ-African American mainly, wouldn't exist otherwise

Native American - Taíno

Fried chicken-African American

Surely people have been frying chickens everywhere.

 

Mac and Cheese -African American

Pecan Pie-African American

Tex-Mex/Mexican-Afro-Latino

 

Middle Eastern-

Kebab-Central Asian TUrkic

Kebab is etymologically Arabic and the concept of cooking meat on a stick over a fire is about as old as cooking

Kaymak-Central Asian Turkic

The word, yes, the product, not necessarily

Baklava-Central Asian Turkic

shishbarak-Central Asian turkic

Central Asian Persian, this was discussed

 

South Asian-

Biryani/Plov-Central Asian TUrkic (even rice in Asia is due to Chinese migration to India)

Persian

Samosa/Sambusa-Central Asian Turkic

Persian/Medieval Arab

aushak-central asian turkic

naan-central asian turkic

Persian

Kerela Mutton/Pork Fry-Malaysian/SE Asian

 

How do people get the origins so wrong?

 

Some corrections for you. Remember demographically and culturally Central Asia was Persian before the Turks showed up in the last 1000 years.
