What does a single counterexample have to do with broad generalizations?

Anyway, most of Europe has a cool climate which is not good forgrowing pungent spices. Thus, the food from those regions (especially northern europe) tends to be more bland than that from equatorial regions where hot peppers and spices DO grow.

That simply meant that rich brits had access to spices. They were very, very, expensive. The average person (i.e. a peasant) couldn't afford it.

That doesn't change the fact that although this is true, Britons used a load of herbs and spices that are almost forgotten today but just as flavoursome.

Many spices such as Black pepper, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Cardamom, etc. weren't as expensive as you think and were commonly used.

Britain had a massive trade network that was the envy of most of Europe, who never had access to the same spices that we did.

So be careful when you say Europe???? . . . .don't forget that Britain had tendrils almost everywhere ( And to a smaller extent, Spain and Portugal)

>Britons used a load of herbs and spices that are almost forgotten today but just as flavoursome.

Got any sources for that? I'm well aware that the British empire had all sorts of "spice connections", but I doubt much of that applied to the common man.

The oldest resource I have on British cooking is not very old at all, really--Mrs. Beeton's, from the Victorian period. It calls for VERY little spice, and this is from a time in which the Brits had a massive empire & trade connections.

One thing that I do have to give them credit for is the use of fermentation, etc, to generate flavors. One of the most commonly called for seasonings in that book is Mushroom Ketchup. (Walnut ketchup too). I have made the former according to Beeton's recipe and it's damn tasty. Not really "hot" or "spicy", but good nonetheless.

Then I am sure you have seen references to the spices mentioned?

Bera in mind that when Mrs Beeton wrote this, she was only 19????

Many herbs such as Borage, Burdock,etc. were used frequently.

Infact - a popular drink still in Britain is Dandelion and Burdock drink.

Mrs Beetons is quite recent, many British cook-books predate this. One which is very interesting is 'The forme of cury' . .. it dates from around 1390AD and describes the earliest form of Lasagne . . .Invented in England!!!!

>>8183845
>Then I am sure you have seen references to the spices mentioned?

No, I haven't. That's why I'm asking. Beeton's calls for small amounts of relatively well known spices: ginger, allspice, mace, nutmeg. While those are technically "spices", they are certainly not what comes to mind when talking about "spicy food". That implies "hot" sorts of spices, which are curiously lacking in Beeton's.

>>when she wrote this she was on 19
She only wrote a handful of the recipes in the book. She's the editor, not the author. The recipes were collected from contemporary sources, many of which were in "high society".

>>borage, burdock...
Not exactly what comes to mind in a discussion of "hot food"

>>Mrs Beetons is quite recent, many British cook-books predate this

Yeah, that's why I was asking for other sources. In my experience when you ask people about the stereotypical "classic British cookbook" you hear about Beeton's. But surely there must be others as well?

I have American friends who visit us in the UK, all of them go on and on about how Americans like hot food. One of them brought some hotsauce to 'spice things up' and kept warning us to be careful with it because Brits 'aren't used to hot food'.

The we take them out for a curry and none of the Americans can eat anything hot at all. The guy who was going on and on about his shitty hot sauce literally started crying when he was trying to eat a Vindaloo.

Maybe Americans cannot eat hot food but Europeans don't have any problems with it.

You have to remember, hot spices with meat were used more frequently in warmer climates to mask the flavor of meat that had "gone off" prior to the development of refrigeration. Colder climates were able to hold fresh meat longer and weren't required to use anything to make it palatable.

Ergo, people in northern countries typically haven't evolved a palate to handle spice.

[Anonymous No.8183898]

>>8182911
My experience:

Brits like hot food, especially the further north you go. Yorkies love really hot curries.

French are generally averse to spicy food, but they've assimilated harrisa from the Moroccans.

Germans get their heat from mustard and black pepper, not hot pepper. Austrians will mess with hot paprika once in a while, but the taste for it seems further east.

Italians seem more open to hot pepper the further south you go, but they're not into much that's particularly spicy.

The Dutch only seem to like spice in the context of Indonesian food, because their food is bland.

They use paprika in Spain, but favor sweet over spicy by a wide margin.

Also Mexican food is very exotic in Europe, and very difficult to obtain. And it seems openness to spicy food seems to line up with whether or not the culture is a beer or wine drinking culture. Beer drinkers are more open to spicy foods, wine drinkers less so.

Not to go off on a tangent or anything but I have really come to appreciate Tapatio over the last few years. I know it's a very popular "corporate-tier" hot sauce but living on the East Coast I only have the privilege of access to the generic Louisiana Hot Sauce bullshit which lacks character. I tried a bunch of craft hot sauces from my local grocery store and they are more or less on par with the Louisiana nonsense. Tapatio itself has so much soul and character. I can't eat it 24/7, but using it sparingly, it really is a delightful treat that changes up the flavors of my favorite dishes in a positive way.

I'm sure you're right. I have limited experience, but have been across England a couple times. In London you can easily find really creamy curries, but once I get to Yorkshire it's all firey stuff. I think of red faced blokes trying to out do each other at Akbar's while trying to quench the heat with copious amounts of beer as pizza size nan breads hang on stands at the table.

Regardless I'll stand by my opinion that beer drinking cultures are more into spicy food than wine drinking. It's tougher to pair spicy food with wine.

I wouldn't say tricked. It developed long ago, when all food was precious and had to be used as a barrier to starvation, as long as it wouldn't make you ill.

Wrong.

They were used "primarily" in hot climates because that's where they originated from, and that's where they grow the best.

By far it's largest component is a collection of recipes. What we call the book is irrelevant to the fact that it contains a window into British cooking. Depending on who you ask it is "THE" classic resource. And it shows very little use of spice.

>>you are just trying your hardest to prove a point that doesn't exist.
I'm not trying to prove a point. I'm asking if you can point out any other classic works on British cooking so that I can further educate myself.

>I have told you about Britains access to spices
Yes, but also not relevant due to the cost.

>>the cookbooks from the 14th Century
Which ones exactly? You didn't mention any by name or citation that I could go look up.

>>the abundance of herbs and hot-stuff . . . .why do you keep denying this?

1) I don't deny the use of herbs. I'm claiming it is irrelevant to the context of our discussion about "hot stuff".

2) What hot stuff did you explain exactly? Sure, we both know that rich Brits had access to whatever they wanted via the spice trade. But I would suggest that doesn't really matter because a) what the rich few do has little bearing on the cuisine as a whole and b) those resources we do have (such as Beeton's) show a curious lack of "hot spices".

Preservation of food was a concern long before metro areas developed, or when major trade routes sprang up.

Look at it at its most basic: You're a medieval peasant farmer. You just slaughtered a pig. You and your family will obviously be eating some of the meat right now. But you can't eat the whole pig, and you need food to last you into the future--after all, you can't slaughter a pig every single day. So you use smoking, drying, curing, salting, and so on to preserve the food. Same thing with vegetables: just harvested? You can make pickles, ferments, store things in a root cellar, etc. People used what they had on hand. And, if you lived in a warm climate where you could go and grab "spices" then you used them. If you lived in a cooler climate where spices were a rare luxury then you used whatever local stuff you could.

British people can't eat hot food.

Brits have really fat, pudgy faces that never really form past the structure of an infant. Because of this, their nasal cavity doesn't have a lot circulation and the heat from the peppers can get trapped in their nasal passages in a condition the Brits describe as "Rightly Wrong Propers." Enough pepper can cause aggressive nose tissue peeling and acute tooth loss in Brits. It's an unfortunate result of generations of inbreeding and eating nothing but boiled food that causes this painful condition, so really the only thing that could be considered spicy in Britain is parsley.

As a person from Europe I can tell you that it is true. Everyone is so much of a pussy when it comes to spicy foods it makes me sad. A dash of cayenne pepper is the only thing most people can handle.

The strongest sauce you can get around here is tabasco.

It kinda pisses me off that everything is so mellow. Every "very spicy" food in restaurants(except for Indian) is actually piquante. Even last week I was in a Subway(insert joke about that) and I wanted some habaneros in sandwich. The girl asked me if I want just some or a lot because they are strong. I told that just some. I couldnt even feel anything except for bitter taste at the bottom of my tongue.

You can of course get hotter shit than tabasco, but from small stores or web. But even in huge supermarkets, its always just some variation of srirarcha, tabasco or sweet chilli sauce. But you cant get anything with more than like 20 000 SHU

Spicy isn't a taste, it's a chemical reaction between capsaicin and the cells in the mucous membranes in your mouth, which when exposed to capsaicin send signals to the brain that your mouth is literally on fire.

It's all relative. The guys we work with in Mexico eat food that is too spicy for me. The guys we work with in Thailand eat food that is too spicy for the Mexicans. Good thing I don't consider how much spicy food I eat as indicative of my dick size like some of you do. I enjoy roughly Jalapeno spice level. I actually like horseradish/wasabi kind of spice more than heat though. My favorite hot sauce is Cholula because I tend to dislike vinegar.

The bottom line is this: Any place you go in America you're going to find the same chain restaurants. There will be some that are regional, but the bigs ones are national. When you go into the supermarket it's going to be 90% the same products no matter where you go, unless you find yourself in a particualrly upscale or ghetto market. And while there are distinct regional dishes the way most Americans eat on a day to day basis has much more to do with social class than where they live. Those with lots of money eat more fresh food than those making little, because heavily processed shelf stable stuff is cheap here. Poor and lower middle class people eat pretty much the same across the country, and it isn't pretty.
