Pre 1600s: Y'all a wanta some Rotting fish juice?
Eh, half the authentic East Asian food you get has Fish Sauce as an ingredient, which is essentially Rotting Fish Juice. Hell, Worcester Sauce in the West is similar but different.
Source: Unmilitant vegan that is peeved that fermented fish product ends up being the secret ingredient in many authentic dishes.
Fair point. Although a lot of South Asia also had shitloads of herbs and spices.
Italian cooking before tomatoes came to Europe looks quite depressing. (Probably still pretty tasty tho)
Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
