correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of the biggest reasons why most European food isn't overly spiced is because they knew #1 how to hunt and obtain a more steady supply of fresher meat/protein and #2 we had multiple methods to preserve the food from salting or smoking. Therefore the meat wasn't rancid and spoiling so spice was used to enhance flavor, not BE the flavor.

is that about right?

All of that + cooking skills.

When I roast a duck all I use is salt, everything else is knowing the proper temperature and when to turn and baste it with it's own fat. My friends and family think I'm some master chef when all in all it's more complicated to make a decent cup of coffee than roast a duck.

Also all you need for a best beef stew you will ever taste is salt, pepper, garlic and a bottle of cheap wine: https://www.insidetherustickitchen.com/peposo

All of that is so simple an intuitive, but you just know that a nigger would fuck it all up and burn a house down.

very nice, sounds like your household is eating well.

i agree on your methods. good quality meat, simply spiced in balance and a thoughtful cooking process are how to get a good meal. not just over-applying spices because you think that is where ALL the flavor comes from.
