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.
Probably .... yet from the very earliest times (medieval and earlier) the historic record is quite clear in that spices were used to make ripe/ rotting meat more palatable in hot humid lands. We can get all tied down with specific dates/ times/ recipes whatever.
I think this is a situation where we are both right.
Definitely was done, but also, Roman’s didn’t use peppercorns as tribute at a price similar to gold because the nobles who could afford to use them were eating rotten meat.
The proliferation of the spice trade, and the vast wealth made by the Dutch East India company, certainly wasn’t because England wanted to make peasant food more palatable. Those who had the money for the best spices never needed to worry about rotten meat.
I think it’s important to educate people on how much kike wars cost our food culture, and our recipes. White cooking is still the best in the world, but it is also still recovering from those wars.
Hold up tho, im not actually talking about Britain and really has zero to do with Romans and Britain pre say, it's about the Indian continent/ Africa and Asia using spices so they can ingest rancid meat.
