I\u2019ve repeatedly seen British people make fun of American food for apparently always being either \u201ctoo sweet or too salty\u201d but our cuisine is still pretty mild compared to a lot of other countries, and having repeatedly tried British food, I\u2019m pretty sure the term you\u2019re looking for is \u201chaving any flavor at all.\u201d

\n

Britain invaded over half the world for spices and then decided they didn\u2019t like any of them

\n
\n

well yeah, if they did find a spice they liked they would not have needed to keep looking for one

\n
\n

they found tea, thought fuck this is good, and invaded the rest of the world just to check it wasn\u2019t hiding anything else

Yo every time I see this concept go by I want to point out that the thing about Western Europe (and America) is that they’re settled livestock cultures, so instead of flavor-bomb plants their taste profiles are built around milk and blood (see the French mother sauces) or preparatory techniques (braising/grilling/pan-frying/slow-cooking\u2026)
