you don't need to resort to a loving absurd take like "it's their spicy languages that make southern european food good" to criticise british food

They went absolutely loving bonkers for garum which is basically a bunch of fish squeezed til it's liquid then fermented.
Kosher garum was considered very fancy stuff

Didn't they lose the knowledge of how to make garum long before tomatoes came into use. Hell they thought tomatoes were poisonous for a while and used them as decoration
