Wasn’t that when Europe was colonizing everyone to get spices?
Spice was for trade, not food from my understanding.
Victorian recipies use cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, mace, and long pepper pretty often.
I think surviving recipes are almost all upper-class food, so regular people maybe used more salt and herbs than actual spices.
And vinegar
True. Probably lots more pickles and ferments than most people eat now
