How did salt and pepper become the world’s most popular spices?
In: Economics
I could be completely mistaken, but it was basically just the personal chefs of some French king in the 1700s used it a bunch and the king loved it, so then everyone in France loved it. Then I think the French kinda spearheaded the modern culinary movement. Writing recipes, techniques, philosophy behind foods, experimenting a bunch, etc. etc. etc. I honestly can’t remember why I think this is true but maybe I can find an article.
Edit: I found an article.
