Kinda funny that foreigners always bring up baked beans as an example of us not using spices when we bake our beans in a spiced tomato sauce. And then we cover them in Worcestershire sauce, which is largely concentrated and fermented spices.
Like we do actually have loads of foods that don’t use any spices - butter pie, sausage and mash, smoked kippers - but people seem really attached to the appearance of baked beans.
also, english sausages have more herbs and spices in them than probably any other country (not true, but goddamit other countries famous for their sausages are terrible, eat a dick deutschland)
I grew up eating vegetables flavored with boiled water. My parents thought they cracked the gourmet code when they switched to steam flavored veggies. I had no idea vegetables could be delicious until I was an adult.
You think bland vegetables are your ally? You merely adopted them. I was born in them, molded by them. I didn’t taste flavored veggies until I was already a man, by then they were nothing to me but delicious!
Well yeah of course not. We only got them to show off to the dutch.
This meme is classist. The spices are for the aristocracy, and for trade with more culinarily refined cultures. They are not for the smallfolk!
