Virtually ALL of us are immigrants! My family came from Italy and Europe (in general)! Imma little this, a little that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I totally agree! Don't like immigrants, don't eat their food - add to the list, no Italian, no French, no Irish!! That means NO POTATOES! 🤣🤣 You can eat corn. And turkey - unspiced!
Yeah many spices are foreign although europeans did have herbs along with stews, may differ by country and people but i dont think the land is being used for herb production any more with need of urbanisation
Spices 'native' to Western culture - so originally European cultures - would be herbs and some roots vegetables for the most part, like Oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, parsley, salvia, bay leaf, celery, chives, dill, fennel, wild garlic, juniper, sage and tarragon, most of which originally come from the Mediterranean part of Europe. But how many Americans still know about all of those today or how to use them? In traditional European cuisines they're still a bit more common. No pepper, because pepper too is originally from South Indian and one of the first spices to be traded and imported in grand style from the subcontinent to Europe hundreds of years ago. Anyway, I cannot live without actually spicy spices and I also don't want to live in a bland world where everything tastes the same and everyone looks the same. so there's that.
Where are my immigrants at?
My family were 20th Century immigrants from Poland, Ukraine and Croatia.

Interestingly enough, even the potato is an "immigrant" since it was brought to Europe from Its native South America.
also tomato and chocolate. might as well add coffee from Africa
@@moroc333 Yep. I only mentioned potatoes since it was part of the joke.
@@jlpack62 I know, I was just throwing in my 2 cents to complement how insane it would be for some people to not have any foreign food at all.
Italian food before tomatoes is just sad

Technically I'm an immigrant coz I was born in the UK but moved to the US when I was 18 months old. Mum was born in the UK when she was 26.
Trevor Noah's family is half Swiss - no spices there.
