Europe: "terrorized and colonized the world to get spices" Also Europe: "serves up absolute disgusting food like this"
What the fuck was it all for?!?!
UK isn't Europe it's just some shitty island
Shitty islands
And yet somehow food is the only place their culture falls behind.
I know what I said.
British Empire: Steals all the worlds spices
Also British Empire: Refuses to use any of them
The people who got rich pillaging the world weren't the ones who ate like this.
Different parts of Europe
No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.
That doesn't contradict what I said. Neither of those are a monolith.
The people doing the colonizing and using the spices and the people eating the bland food were from different parts of their countries.
Enlighten me which part of the Netherlands doesn't eat bland food ;)
Isn't alfredo just greasy milk
Actual Alfredo has no dairy added other than cheese
I know, my fiancée makes it at home! I'm just a tomato kinda guy. Your comment and name made me think of greasy milk. I found it really inocuous and just a bit jarring, in a funny way.
Anyways, I retorted like that because I just ate this like a week ago. Ernest Hemingway wrote about it in For Whom the Bells Toll, in 6th grade it entranced me. It's pretty baller. Bread, cheese and onion.
They understand mexicans and biting into raw onions. If I had a pot of my mother's beans, I'd be in heaven. Every now and again celebrate where you come from or enjoy simple discomforts. It's why Islam venerates pilgramages and fasting. Christians, lent. Etc.
Thanks for letting me rant, I'm gonna go buy some beans.
Edit. Am boiling beans
Doesn't it have cream?
And butter.
