    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)
