It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.

engl*nd moment
to be honest, i doubt the spice trade had much of an influence on english prole cuisine
In all seriousness a lot of spices were used mostly in tea. But the British were mainly stealing stuff like cotton, gold, lumber, etc. and not necessarily food items.
Wouldn't want to have my spotted dick and blood crisps or whatever the fuck British people eat tasting like anything other than boiled celery.
“Boiled celery? A bit exotic, isn’t it?”

How dare you try to poison people with flavour! Everyone knows a proper cucumber sandwich is a single layer of cucumber slices (skin removed) between two slices of white bread (Use 
as a guide). If you're feeling particularly daring you may add a small pinch of salt and pepper but be careful not to over season, you wouldn't want to make something tasty by accident!

This is why the English have to claim half of the food their immigrants brought with them as their own, lest they look up and realize the only tasty thing they make themselves is deep-fried (and even then that's arguably Scottish).
Over a year ago I made fun of the blood-soaked colonial empire island's cuisine and had someone go full gammon on me because I was completely ignorant and (ableist slurs here) because I wasn't aware of how amazing this one curry place was from an authentic Indian family just down the street. 
Hey now, the English stole that cuisine fair and square! Next you're gonna tell me the king should give back all the jewels in his crown and sceptre!!

If you went to an English tea room for afternoon tea
Well there's your first mistake
You have to remember that the ~~cunts~~ Brits spent hundreds of years raping and pillaging the world for spices, and the next hundreds of tears refusing to use them. The blander, the better!
