It's basic knowledge though, even if you want to use the term medditerranean food you should rather use east medditerranean or even levantine food. because french and spanish food is not even related, even though spain had influenced by arabs just like levant.

I don't know why people consider this ofensive, it's okay to not know it, but it's not okay to insist on the mistakes. How can people understand our culture with very new anglo term, why should we define ourselves according to new and artifical anglo terms?

This is not turbo compatriotism, this is a necessity for any real culture.
