[quote=Anonymous]It’s popular because if you look at Western European cuisine such as British, Irish, German, Scandinavian, etc, food from centuries ago, it was awful. Really Awful. French cooks took a bit more time trying to make something decent with the basically the same thing everyone else in that region had- meat, wheat, milk, and salt. So at the time, it was much better than their neighbors fare. But now, when we have so much access to cuisines from all over the world that French food is not the star. It’s basically hanging on because if it’s centuries long reputation in the Western world. But we can see why there were wars, slave trades, colonizations, and more wars as territories battled to get a piece of the spice trade. Food tastes better elsewhere. [/quote]
