It’s kind of funny, I think, that a plant so closely associated with America is actually not native at all.

    The more impressive thing is how the British had a global empire for roughly 400 years, and their cuisine remained awful.

      I think that’s because British food we commonly see as awful stems from food rationing that went on during and after WWII, as far as I know well in the 1970s

        That seems like a poor excuse, every country experienced rationing and they didn’t revert to awful food. There’s even a few dishes like fried spam and ramen that are actually pretty good.
