Date: July 31st, 2025 4:44 PM Author: Galvanic Stubborn Rigpig I have a theory that the quality of a nation's food actually indicates how long it's been a great civilization ie UK can boast abt the sun never setting on the British Empire but pre-1500 AD Britain and northern/western Europe were caveman peasant barbarian shit. So it makes sense they never developed good food cause they had a pathetic civilization
In contrast, China, India, Thailand, Mediterranean (Greek, Italy, Lebanon, Turkey), Japan even had long civilizations that were advanced at various times and so they refined their cuisine. |

Places with massive starving populations (India, China) or shitty farmland (Italy, Middle East) had to work harder to make something palatable out of what they had. |
