Mrs R and myself have had pie and chips tonight. The pies were Pukka beef, and to be honest, the beef wasn't that good. However, we both noticed the spiciness of the pies and remarked on it. In truth, it isn't the first time we've noticed this with prepared/processed food.
So have spices started being added to our food as the general population's tastes have changed, or is it a case that they've always been there and it's only now as we've aged we've started noticing?
