Recipes, to be used with which spices, huh? If they won’t use them they might as well not exist. Now it’s cheaper but the general population didn’t use them so it doesn’t really count.
Oh Yeah! Like they’d earn all the money and they’d spend it by paying wages & share what they imported with common folk. It’ll all trickle down to the rest of us… eventually, right? /s
What are you talking about? I’m saying some fancy food recipes which were used only by the rich should not be lost to time. Has nothing to do with what you’re saying.
Ok being serious then, the meme (& most people) refer to working class British dishes like fish & chips, beans on toast, bangers and mash which don’t have a lot of spice used in them. Many of them were probably invented, adapted & popularized by working class people during post world war 2 rationing.
I’m sure authentic British recipes do contain “rich people” food, but memes and pejoratives about their cuisine ignores or doesn’t know about such food.
Its like a meme mentioning American food as burgers & gravy, while pedants would argue Mexican food is also American. Ignoring why North Americans (mostly poor people) eat fast food and the socio-economic factors that forces them to eat low nutrition food.
But you’d think some of the rich people recipes would make their way to what’s now known as British cuisine.

If rich Brits actually used spices, then what did they use them in? Where did those recipes that use spices go?
If they didn’t actually use spices, then what did they do with them? Just use them as currency?

Also, trickle down economy does work and has always worked - it’s just that the mega rich are subhuman, so everything trickles down to them :P
