Watching the cornstarch video: spices in the colonial era were pretty expensive, I really doubt niggers were given scraps and nobility products like spices to eat. Not to mention root African food is pretty spice intensive and the use of it is heavily linked to proximity to the Equator - plenty of South American and Near/South Asian have the same taste.

Some spices like clove and cinnamon were pretty expensive, but spices as a whole were not; you wouldn't need to pay an arm and a leg for garlic or horseradish or chopped onion in the 1700s. An easier and less politically correct explanation is that different groups have developed different palettes after thousands of years of eating specific types of food, and one group historically predisposed to geophagy might not have developed the most delicate palette.

I don't really know much about Magick on account neither being a woman nor morbidly obese but wouldn't prostitution demons revel in the misery of the sex trafficking industry? Or are demons underdog heroes in the Magick system?

Garlic and onions really aren't spices, they're vegetables native to Europe and probably readily available even to peasants. Horseradish is often called a spice, too, but similarly, was peasant fare used because of its ready availability. All are easy to grow even by subsistence farmers in not even very good soil.

The kinds of things generally called "spices" were expensive, seen as exotic, and often not readily available to plebs. Black pepper is obviously a spice, but they'd generally have just said "pepper" because these were mundane. Pepper was considered a common pantry item as early as Roman days.

So while the word means and meant some kind of plant item that isn't an herb (usually leaves) but is used to flavor food, it generally strongly implied something expensive and exotic.

Yes, but this is semantics over definitions, not the effect on someone's tastebuds. Seasoning might have been a more appropriate term to use but my point was that it was fairly easy and affordable to add strong flavors to food even back then.

If you owe 300 grand, that's your problem. If you owe two trillion, that's the plaintiff's problem. Particularly for (you) outside of the US. Probably not the best idea to move to the UAE given your statements about the prophet though.

I'm not denying that. There's a reason so many "haute cuisine" foods are reworks of peasant food. But there have always been things that have been considered nobility fare.

Peasants, and by that I mean anyone who wasn't a noble, have always been able to make actually good food from even common ingredients. It's just a human trait.

So yes, it's just semantic faggotry, sorry.

I just said populations near the Equator prefer heavily seasoned food and eating dirt has probably nothing to do with it. If I would make a wild guess, meat spoils faster in hot and humid climates so I reckon they had to overseason it or smoke it like indigenous South American populations. The point being the overseasoning coming from slavery is bullshit.
 
@Null I did the math on the Jungle Juice people pleaser from the corn starch video (with some approximations on volumes near the end, I'm not sure if he used the entire can of pineapple juice, his Malibu was already opened, and I'm not sure if he finished the bottles of ). My final tally was 2.5875L of alcohol in 17.36 L of total liquid- something just shy of 15% ABV. So like a heavier ABV wine. The dangerous amounts of sugar in there are going to hide the alcohol flavor largely, so yeah, probably a great getting absolutely hammered drink for the young and stupid with functioning livers to process all that alcohol and sugar. 🍻

I've seen way worse than this from fratboys who would always chuck an entire fifth of Everclear into the watermelons they were using for jungle juice.

This is a lot more like the Jungle Juice I've seen:
Can you do some math on this?
