    1. I guess there is a difference to be made here between spiced food and spicy food though both tend to be thrown in the same pot though they are very different

    2. Ethnic food enthusiasts when a dish actually contains different spices like thyme and sage and not just 78 varieties of chili

    3. Funny how they had like all spices in the world available yet sucked at actually using them.

      It still blows my mind that the contents of my spice rack would have made me a very wealthy man four hundred years ago.

      It’s a silly stereotype that falls apart the minute you actually look at medieval recipes. In Britain where the stereotype seems to be strongest, they put black pepper in a ton of dishes, they didn’t have a problem with spices or with spicy food

    6. I’d be pumped for spices too if all I was eating was flavorless peasant food.
