This recipe correctly identifies the dish as being Uzbek in the title. Then proceeds to list the cuisines as American, Mediterranean, and Russian

Let me show you maps in case you don’t know where it is and why that’s stupid
First America
I have nicely circled Uzbekistan and the USA. Distance aside, I think most Americans would be like
if you ask them what Lagman is. And by most I mean 99.9% of the population. For example, I live in the US and first heard about it at the age of 23 when looking for foreign food. Never have I seen any mention of Lagman in this country, ever. Additionally, I’ve never met someone who considers themselves Uzbek, have heard of the country mostly through Russian sources and geography class, and can say with certainty that Uzbek food is not well known here at all.
Now Mediterranean
I have nicely circled the Mediterranean Sea and area. I have never heard of food not in that area being called Mediterranean, only food in that region.
Russian
Okay so Russia is closer distance wise, and it’s much more likely that a Russian had traveled to Uzbekistan given that both were USSR republics. They also do have places in Russia that have Uzbek food, and have restaurants dedicated to Uzbek food. But I’ll circle both and you might notice that they’re two different countries. Nor is Uzbek food sold on every street corner or anything like that. Therefore, in my world, it is not Russian.
Have I made my case?
Uzbek Lagman
Unique Uzbek Lagman recipe. Soup loaded with meat, potatoes, carrots with Mediterranean seasoning and served over pasta. Comfort food.
