> why would people too poor to have non-rotten meat be able to afford expensive spices? because a jar of spices is enough to make rotted meat pallatable and satiating for a year or more. the origin of curry is literally about communities spamming spcies on the meat they sent up to monastaries so it would spoil slower and still taste good for the holy men. for fuck sakes man, it's literally a form of preservation if you start with good meat. curried meat will keep a month where lightly spiced stuff goes rancid in 2 weeks tops.  you're a bug man who doesn't prpeare food and has no sense of the history of food and poverty in the human experience.
