Fusion Foods
Slick:
I once walked into a friend's house after going to the market to see that his housemate was toasting two eggos and unwrapping a processed cheese single. He then put the cheese between the eggos, and microwaved the works. And ate it. Staring at us with eyes like a hurt puppy dog who knows his master thinks he's done something wrong but he doesn't think it's really that bad, honestly.

Most of my experiences with them have been good, but I don't exactly frequent any such establishment, so I can't say too much about them.
That dish sounds pretty bad regardless.

You're right, PF Chang's is generally pretty good (but in most cases, not good enough to justify the price) it's just this one seasonal item they had.

I use sweet chilli sauce in a lot of my cooking including the pasta...mornay/bake thing that I make. Basically it is italian pasta sauce, mayonnaise, tuna, cheese and sweet chilli. Wholegrain mustard if you have it as well. Does that count as fusion?
Slick:
Opinion: If someone calls something fusion foods, I will laugh at them. If they call it experimental cooking, I will probably want in their pants.
BobJoeJim:
To be fair, Slick, there is a legitimate difference in meaning between "fusion" and "experimental". Experimental is a very general term for any time you try a non-traditional combination of ingredients. If the experiment is a direct combination of two or more specific traditional types of cuisine though, then it is fusion. Also, it's not necessarily a rectangles/squares situation, because there are some combinations that are definitely fusion, but that are also tried and true, to the degree that it wouldn't really be fair to call them experimental.
tl;dr I'm calling it fusion so you stay out of my pants.
