well no, you kinda need access to the ingredients for that cuisine… Like, nordic (and even a lot of central european) grocery stores don’t just have galangal or whatever. Plus if they do it’s gonna be horribly expensive, since it’s imported.

True, I guess the implication is more "traditional cuisine that can be made and/or substituted with local ingredients." It also helps that a lot of the unique regional stuff (like galangal) is spices that can be done without in a pinch. Not to lessen the importance ot using the right spices, but even in the worst case virtually everything will taste good with appropriate use of salt, black pepper and (sometimes) vinegar.
