just in the anime at first but now it's spread to the games
of including non-native regional food items in the game's settings and acting like they represent the country that Region is based on
like French Macarons in the Black and White anime (Unova was based on New york)
glazed Donuts in the X&Y anime which was set in france, and behaved as if Donuts were an Arabian dessert (turns out they were created in America)
and Malasada in Alola/Hawaii (Malasada are Brazilian, and are very similar to jelly filled donuts)
it's excusable because multiculturalism
but I still find it vuagely odd
