You are free to re-imagine every dish. The fact that we (italians) may have developed a dish does not give us any reason to tell other people how to eat their food. Just know this: italians are the third importers of kebab in europe, italy is the country in europe with the highest number of “all you can eat chinese/japanese” stores. We really love to mix our culture to other people food, and you should feel free to the same!
