To sell. Not to actually use.too spicy.
I keep seeing this meme everywhere, and it’s laughably incorrect. In my experience, Brits like spice more than anywhere else in Europe, Indian/British-Indian cuisine is huge there.
Shit, eat some horseradish sauce or real English mustard (French and American mustards are sweet, English mustard… isn’t) and tell me Brits don’t like spice.
I’m an Indian guy who’s lived in multiple places in Europe and of all of them I’ve lived in or visited, the UK definitely likes spice the most.
Americans think they’re in the “likes spicy food” category because Mexico lets them stand next to each other. My brothers, High Fructose Corn Syrup is not a spice
The all-american spice blend: high fructose corn syrup, regular corn syrup, light corn syrup, honey, stevia and aspartame. Completely sugar free! Buy 2 and get a free gun!
It’s because of beans on toast. The beans you buy in the USA are shit.
My latest beans on toast twist. Beans in a saucepan, add tandoori spice mix to hotness required. Serve on a garlic naan
I’m starving at work right now and I thought that browsing Lemmy would be a safe way to pass the time until lunch. Then you come at me with this delicious-sounding disaster and I’m completely wrecked.
I think the stereotype comes less from what Brits actually eat and more from traditional bland British dishes (notably ones that were probably popularized during rationing in WWII), such as beans on toast or the infamous toast sandwich.
Red Dwarf has a gag where the crew has a time machine, but have sworn never to use it because of the potential dangers. But then the ship’s curry supply is lost in a flood, and Lister (an average British slob) decides to go back to 20th century Earth for some curry.
Later on in the series they need a tyrannosaurus rex to lose its lunch, so they make a giant curry. The dinosaur loves the curry, and after having its fill it goes for the ship’s supplies of lager and ice cream
The Spices extend life. The Spices expand consciousness. The Spices are vital to sea travel.
Also, were taking a bunch of cultural artifacts for our museums. Thanks!
For the Fremen, spice is the sacred hallucinogen which preserves life and brings enormous health benefits. For the Imperium, spice is used by the navigators of the Spacing Guild to find safe paths between the stars. Without spice, interstellar travel is impossible, making it by far the most valuable substance in the universe.
The spice must flow
