Did someone decide to lick a rock and thought it would go well on meat?

You can think King Louis XIV of France for bringing these together. Before him the use of spice and seasoning were used in foods to show of wealth. They didn’t have Instagram to flex with the bling back then. If someone could serve meals with dishes that featured exotic spices. They were well to do. Of course the Royals wanted to be the biggest flexers. It also didn’t matter if the food tasted the best. It was all about showing others what you could obtain.
Then along comes Louis XIV. Lou didn’t much care for all those fancy spices & seasonings. He would only want his cooks to use just salt & pepper. Since the people of the royal court followed the lead of the King Flexer. They ended up imitating this practice and it spread on from there.
