i still do, i grow basil, mint and sage, also hyssop
though to be honest, they get old fast, lately i've been using dried seaweed as a spice (a great source of iodine) and i have to admit its definitely the way to go for oriental dishes
Rosemary.... though my herb garden has a touch of whimsey ... a blue-LED lit clear solar lawn-ornament cross is flanked by two rosemary bushes to symbolize The Holy Mother and Mary Magdalene. In front is a row of lettuce (And with bitter herbs ye shall eat it) ... finally a sweet banana pepper plant and a tomato plant ... just because.
Should probably do a couple of grape vines on the fence and some hyssop.
Still a few weeks till last frost where I am, but there's a few sprouts I started indoors starting to come up. Hopefully there'll be enough basil this year to make a nice big batch of pesto at the end of summer.
Medieval european food was actually heavily spiced with local plants, most of which people have long forgotten the uses for. Like spikenard and grains of paradise (the latter of which is actually spicy spicy)
A trend started among nobility to use less and less herbs and spices and that line of thought trickled into the populations in general, and that's also why nobody in Europe uses things grains of paradise anymore.
But european food doesn't have issues with spice. Yeah it isn't gonna use chili peppers and shit because Europe is too cold to grow them, but the only truly "bland" white foods are British food (which became bland because of ww1 and ww2 rationing that entered the culture at large), and yankee american food.
We started liking spices again during the age of exploration, when the trend reversed itself and wealthy people started using spices, and now every country in Europe has regular access to these spices and they use them.
European food has plenty of spices, southern europe uses the most well known and obvious warm weather spices. Like spain, where saffron is used heavily and most homes have it. Northern European cuisine is also very much spiced, but they're different, cold weather herbs and spices. Some dishes are very botanical in Northern Europe.
American niggers only spice their food because of white southerners, and they do it poorly. White southerners still spice our food. I never heard of this stereotype until I ran into chronically online niggers who bitch about it all the time. African food is only spicy because white colonists brought peppers from the Americas to them.
In most of Africa they grow seasoning (thanks to the White man) so its actually quite abundant for these chimps
as for British food, i absolutely agree their food is bland, tasteless and almost nigger-tier (because its made with the cheapest ingredients they could find)
their cheeses are pretty good though, which puts them like 10 steps above actual niggers in terms of food.
Blame Lord Woolton, the man in charge of British rationing during ww2, for British food being pure ass.
He discouraged the use of basically everything except soggy slop for the wartime effort that Britain never had to be in in the first place.
The British people developed Stockholm syndrome and kept doing this anyways even after the war. The rationing itself continued into the late 50s for... reasons.
Historical British food is good. Look at old cookbooks from before the world wars and the recipes are great. Some of the best in the world at the time. They had access to every spice on the planet as well as local herbs and they used all of it.
WW2 destroyed the entire food culture of Britain, and then they imported millions of browns with their "ethnic cuisine" that, when doctored up and the unpalatable slop left in india, is arguably better than modern British cuisine. This justifies having rape gangs or something like that.
Traditional British cooking only really survives in pastries, cheese, and a couple other dishes. Most of it is dead and gone forever because of ww2. At least in britain. It still survives in the southern US in some forms. Like fried chicken, which is scottish. "Soul food" in general is mostly of English and scottish origin. Macaroni and cheese = english, fried chicken = scottish, collard greens = english, ham hocks = British, gravy = British, mashed potatoes = British, cornbread = British colonists, okra is from Africa, but it's from east Africa. The English cultivated it before niggers. Chitlins = english, and the one standing exception is grits, which is native American. There isn't one nigger food anywhere in soul food and it's British from the ground up besides grits, which isn't black.
they use olive oil, garlic, onion, rosemary, mustard (i.e White people pepper, which is also useful to killing parasites) salt, wine and even honey
they're all spices technically, and we have been using them since the dawn of time

The myth that we wouldn't have spicy food without niggers or Mexicans is laughable.
