I grew up with a Mom who was English/Irish. She used salt. pepper, rosemary, and thyme and was about it. so I married a Cajun. HMMMMMMMMM. But I can break out in a sweat just looking at hot sauce bottles on the spice aisle.
My mom is English. Growing up the only vegetebles she made when we were growing up were tinned peas, tinned corn, tinned carrots, and brussel sprouts at Christmas.
