![And that genius was 100% correct... Imagine conquering the world for spices only to have some nigger babble at you that wypipo don't spicy dey food... [699x1024 - 91KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/Pu6xLZ.jpg){kind=link}
Ethnic cultures the world over used spices to hide the taste and flavor of rotting, rancid food, meat and produce because they all literally had no concept of actual food hygiene, safe and clean preparation and lacked means to store or refrigerate in hot climates. Literally having to spice tainted meat to be able to consume it and be palatable without gagging ...
you literally just made that up. I'm a racist but i'm an informed one and my racism requires nothing you have to offer.
It's why ketchup was created
Rancid steak had to be cooked well done to be edible. Ketchup was created to give it moisture and flavor
They cover that in the first five minutes of the ketchup documentry
Don't be a nigger, Dass is correct.
Lol.
This is the historical reason why Cultures used spices in the Indian continent/ all the African shitholes and throughout the humid Asian lands, to be able to consume meat that had turned in the heat .. you cant store meat in a plus 120 degree climate without refrigeration or curing and salting, which is why all the various spices like chilies and hot curries etc arose to kill the flavor/ taste of off meat and make it palatable. Its well known thats why those cultures heavily spiced their foods in the past .... Lmao what a goof.
Most modern Indian restaurant recipes are British recipes they try to claim as their own. The British created most curry mixes in colonial India and then forgot their own ideas when ww1 and ww2 food restrictions deprived two generations of cooks back to back access to spices.
Soul food is mostly based on recipes taught house slaves by their masters.
Very little was actually ever invented by Africans and Indians. The only place outside Europe with a genuine food culture is east Asia.
You're wrong. Everyone wanted spices, they just didnt grow well in Europe because of how high latitude it is. Try growing e.g. chiles that far north. You need a greenhouse or grow lamps to start in winter because the growing season is too short.
I'll read this later but boone was right.
True of some spices, not of others. Many of the spices classed as "pepper" were used for that, and not just to increase flavor. Most of the others, not so much.
Yeah, look i'm trying not to get weighed down in having to classify every single spice ever or when it was first discovered used and why, but that the obvious factual contention many early cultures utilized spices to make meat that has turned more palatable ... which was why spices were so valuable and sought after in ancient/ medieval times etc extending the viability of tainted/ rancid rotting food .
Mmmmmmaybe. Peppers, both black and bell varieties and variants, aren't that difficult to grow and you can find a variety of one or both that'll grow in most climates. Same with mustard. And that's plenty to conceal meat that's a bit off. Most of the more valuable spices that were transported long distances weren't appropriate for that. I don't think either frankincense or myrrh would do it, as examples.
