That's like saying Californians are sushi masters because there's a tempura spot around the corner
I do get the point lol
Yes. I thought you were talking about forever and to present.
There's also a lot of British cuisine which is just not made or known now. I'm not that familiar with that sorta thing tbh lol.
I think it's partly cos spices wouldn't make sense with some of that, like you don't need a spicy roast boar or pheasant or whatever lol.
I'm also not really sure of the history but I doubt the majority of the population had access to expensive spices. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(We don't all live in palaces, and some of us are still peasants lol 😿)
Mostly I was saying it to be funny🤷🏽
The idea that the British empire controlled so much territory and in the history books it says they literally traded spices as a main stay, but then everyone says their food is bland🤷🏽
It's low hanging fruit.
As for your point about commoners having the money for spices that's the real thing. I imagine the royals traded spices with other countries more as currency rather than "bring their culture here!" I wonder how much of it actually made it to England rather than being controlled by British traders but really only going the next country over our what have you.
If you wanted to be contrary back you couldn't said WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE BRITISH DON'T USE SPICES? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF WITCHES HERB GARDENS? THE BRITISH PRETTY MUCH INVENTED WITCHES SPICE RACKS
I kind of wish you did too
If you had my next response would've been "oh yeah, sweat of dog and eye of newt are GREAT spices that we still have to this day." 🤣🤣
I love how the opposite of bland, in this chat at least , is spicy XD
Spices doesn't mean spicy...
That shows how bland Europe is 🤣😜
Look , let's wrap this up, I got mushy pea flavoured pot noodle in the microwave.
Oh no no no. We are NOT having the 'seasoned' discourse from X on here.
Do Not Take the bait
No fun anymore?
For the un-x'ed among us, what's the "seasoned" discourse ? Some chicken blabbing on about seasonings ?
Fffffsssssiiiigh
