The British Empire killed countless millions for the sake of spices that they never even got around to using on their bland food

FUN FACT; The American Eastern Seaboard was once covered in forest the size of the Amazon which was cut down to build ships for the English Navy to battle the French, Spanish & Portuguese and massacre millions of people in Africa, the Americas, and Asia to take their gold, ivory, and spices to not even be used in the most bland food to have ever existed in human history
