The British eat so much Indian food it’s crazy. There’s a Nando’s on damn near every corner in London.

I dated a British girl in high school. She microwave broccoli in water. No salt or seasoning. No butter. No nothing. She took it out, drained the water and told me her dish was done. That was the last time she made anything for us.

I know that it’s mostly a joke, yet it is worth mentioning that those valuable spices were exclusively used by the rich and wealthy. Ordinary people and their food did not benefit from the spice trade at all. If you delve a little bit into culinary history and find out what the aristocrats did with (for example) extremely rare and precious nutmeg the British Empire fought wars over, you want to dig up their bones, revive them, just so that you can kill them again.
