black pepper is a wonderful spice i'm glad it's one of the two i'm permitted to eat as a white person
it's so fragrant 💐
“[Salt's] pairing with pepper as table accessories dates to seventeenth-century French cuisine, which considered black pepper (distinct from herbs […]) the only spice that did not overpower the true taste of food.”
those monsters. the french must atone for their crimes
i'm not saying that french high culture has had an almost entirely negative impact on humanity. what i am saying is that—
i live in one of the bearnaise countries it's dire out here
it's illegal to be cool in france, they are responsible for a lot of the blandness of european food, and they still have the worst “post”-colonial relations of any european power, but they also have the tgv and nuclear power, and i'm british, so i can't say france's all bad
@hikari France has the same cultural thing going on as the UK, whereby theres lots of cool things going on but it all has links to immigrants or places outside of Paris and thereby is Not French according to the stuffy rich white guys who run the Government.
@erincandescent yeah. my very vague impression is that france is somehow even worse at this than the uk, but as an outsider i can't judge the particulars. i do say “high culture” for a reason, though
