As it stands, this is a list of impossibly broad scope, as it potentially encompasses any dish invented or modified from the late 15th century to the present day. The main article on the Columbian exchange#Effects already discusses at length the crops and food products that were introduced and traded, including a comprehensive list, making this a redundant fork of a much better presented article. This list is currently unsourced, save for a cookbook entry that does not discuss the actual topic. There are, of course, many, many sources discussing the effects of the Columbian exchange in terms of food products and the culinary arts, but even those would not justify a list of every individual dish that was invented or modified as a result, which is what this list's purpose appears to be.

Delete per nom. What, no hamburgers, hot dogs, pop tarts, popcorn, not even ratatouille ...? Clarityfiend (talk) 23:15, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Impossibly broad cross-categorization, and unnecessary as per the Columbian exchange article as nom pointed out. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 00:25, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So the "finished" version of this list would then include any dish that contains on the one hand one or more of the "New World" crops maize, tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers, and so on—and on the other hand also one or more of the "Old World" crops citrus, onions, wheat, rice, and so on? That seems extremely broad, to put it mildly (and that's not even counting the animal species). TompaDompa (talk) 16:19, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of WP:SELCRIT. It is literally impossible to define what may or may not have been 'created' due to the Columbian exchange, and if you take the title at face value, it would include every recipe invented after 1492. Without a SELCRIT, a stand-alone list is not ready for mainspace. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 17:07, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
