Religion probably played a role too. That line is almost the Protestantism-Catholicism divide. Protestants had to live a sober life and this probably extended to their cuisine. Like the Dutch and British traveled across the world and waged wars for spices and the spices barely entered their gastronomy. All they did was sell the spices to Southern Europe
it was well known that jesus loved plain potatoes with absolutely zero seasoning.
Potatoes in Judea before the Columbian Exchange? It truly is a miracle!
Well according to Joseph Smith Jesus went on a road trip in America after the resurrection. Why else would Jesus cross the pond? For the mighty tater of course.
Dealers canβt be consuming all their supply ;)
But I agree, overall, southern European food is just so much better.
