Sure, it was for spices, definitely not for money.
It was a different time. We don't do that anymore!
You should read some educational books, maybe try some Marx ones before you grow up some hair
BUT THERE IS SOME REALLY GOOD CURRY IN THE UK BECAUSE SOME CONQUERED PEOPLES WERE COERCED TO THE OLD IMPERIAL CORE TO TRY TO ECONOMICALLY SURVIVE SO TAKE THAT
I didn't even deny anything specific about the colonially seized food; I was reflecting some very loud seething that got brought up during older dunks on jellied eels or beans on toast.
They weren't wrong about jellied eels being the only protein the working class could afford, hence why they stopped eating that crap as soon as they could afford anything else.
Beans on toast with ketchup on the other hand is as indefensible as percolated coffee; there's easier ways to use those same ingredients to make something that isn't awful.
TBF to the Dutch, the regular food they serve you at a restaurant nowadays beats the USA by a mile.
This reminds me of an old post I remember seeing where it depicted the contrast between anime food and English film food with some eggs. The anime ones were drawn with utmost care to look downright heavenly, while the English film eggs were very scraggly.
Dutch and British food isn’t bad, unless your a yank that only eats things pumped full of sugar.
dutch and british food is dogshit lol. how many italian restaurants are there in the UK vs. how many british restaurants are there in italy?
Death to America
You mean you don't want your pickled eggs served by blackface Santa? smdutchh
Spaghetti and pizza aren’t bad but nothing to wank about. Also there’s British and Irish pubs in every city.
don't make me bring up the mountain of grease-soaked fried foods that brits find acceptable as a meal. even as an american, i haven't seen so much fried food in one place. and i've been to the southern united states many times.
Fat is where the flavour is.
I also made Puri today, and it turns out deep frying bread makes it taste better.
Google "Stargazy pie"
Google "Jellied eels"
Google "mushy peas over chips"
Google chicken livers, scrapple, hot dogs, deep fried butter, hersheys chocolate. All pretty gross.
At least some Dutch food integrated the spices (Speculaas), the Brits have no excuse
