No reference[edit]

I removed "(Parasecoli: 2014)" from the body as there is no indication what this is referring. There is no mention of Parasecoli in the reference list. It's a leftover fragment from the cut and paste originations. This is a minor copyedit to remove a fragment that makes no sense. It's not a source or reference.

Parasecoli, Fabio (2014). "Food, Identity, and Cultural Reproduction in Immigrant Communities". Social Research. 81 (2): 415–439. doi:10.2307/26549625. ISSN 0037-783X. looks to be quite likely the source the article creator originally cited to and forgot to include in the sources. valereee (talk) 21:51, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the text in Wikipedia article: As a consequence, immigrants must adapt traditional dishes to different flavors and techniques.

Text in the source - two relevant passages, pg 420 As a consequence, they can assume a variety of positions in a spectrum that goes from the staunchest defense of what they perceive as traditions to the enthusiastic embrace of culinary elements from the host community, which in turn entails further negotiations with the other family member who may assume different approaches.

or

As important for the cultural reproduction of social life as they mat be, such foods frequently undergo various degrees of transformation due to the availability of ingredients, the exposure to different flavors and techniques, and the need to adapt to a dissimilar rhythm of life..

I don't think this supports the word "must." It should be replaced with either "may" or "frequently." Those are the words Parasecoli uses. He doesn't use "must." Also, it's a bit of a synthesis as Parasecoli seperately discusses preparation and shopping as different. The sentence before that in the wikipedia article There is also another aspect of introducing new foods which is related to the availability of traditional ingredients, such as coriander and halal meat in Arabic cuisine. Even if there are specialized shops in ethnic foods, normally located in big cities, where immigrants can find some of the ingredients they need to prepare traditional dishes, the availability of these ingredients sometimes can be limited or expensive. isn't supported by Parasecoli.

No objection to changing must > may or frequently.

The sentence you're saying isn't supported by Parasecoli is at least partially supported, and the subject seems to be discussed from p20 on -- I'll go mark it as that. valereee (talk) 11:45, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
