Maybe not so insane

We used them in clothing instead of food. <_< Yes, t'was a mistake; a very Brit mistake. I don't think "we" is the correct word; as white people were screwed over by that as well.

I'd just like to point out that Sweden uses spices a lot. Cinnamon on banana bacon really covers the pickled herring flavour.

???? Italians ????? Have you forgotten your spaghetti and pizza so quickly ?????

So no one else can use them and we could peruse foreign foods without fear of da spicy tongue

Good question!

It's like animal crossing, we sold them all to try to pay off war debts.
