Ravioli, Ravioli, Give Me The Formuoli

This is one of those modern jokes that isn’t based in history. Britain for example were so famos for putting spices in everything that Charles Dickens makes jokes about people carrying around personal nutmeg grinders with them where ever they went. Even today if you compare British Indian dishes like the Vindaloo with their Indian counterpart they are significantly spicier. In fact the dish Phall was literally invented after Bangladeshi curry restaurants didn’t have a spicy enough dish for British locals and had to invent one.

They are used. People just ignore them to do the same overused joke.

Simple: the Portuguese, who kickstarted the whole raid the world for spices plot, did it and they use them daily. The Spanish did it and they use them daily. Even the British use them. Europe figured that shit out 500 years ago. Its just that older traditional dishes typically dont use them because they likely come from a time where access to spices was more limited. **And even then**, people have used spices since to prop up their dishes.
