    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?!?!

        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.
