Kulturkampf

[Eric Cartman]

You don't even need to think about it for more than a couple of seconds to realise that cultural dishes that drown out the flavour of the ingredients used in them with spice are because they come from environments where the food went bad faster and they needed to drown out the taste of food going bad.

Being unable to appreciate the taste of fresh high quality food with minimal seasoning isn't a slam dunk on 'bland culture'. It's having a fucked palate.
