Y'know, there were a good couple of months where Buenos Aires were under British sovereignty. I wonder if that influenced Argentine/Porteño culture in any appreciable way.

Yeah! All anyone ever thinks about is the 1982 Malvinas war but back in the 1800's we drove the English out of the capital on two separate occasions, our record is 2-1.

@FagMode59er @sierra theres a lot more going on in indian food than chilies 😭. it was less spicy yes but there was still a lot going on. at least i grew up being told they used a shit ton of black pepper which they were happy to upgrade. then again even within india, ingredient access would still have been limited by climate and trade and much more localized
