[sadread]

I would like to know about the food culture of a country I am not familiar with, please list three spicy condiments that you think are typical.

British food and cuisine has been traditionally so good it doesn't need spices.

 

You can add pepper if you like. That counts as a spice.

We also add nutmeg to milky puddings like rice puddings

At Christmas we eat mince pies, which are made of fruit, often with a splash of brandy. We add cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed spice.

Mulled wine is also drunk at Christmas which is warmed wine with cinnamon, cloves, star anise and maybe cardamon

I think British food was spicier in the past...sometimes to cover the bad smell of aged or off game and such.

We couldn't grow many spices so they were very expensive. They were a status symbol, a sign of wealth.

[MargoTester]

English mustard, horseradish and mint sauce (not really spicy but an accompaniment for lamb

[Rosetta]

If you are thinking of spices typical of other countries how about Thailand and lemongrass,Mexico and chillies, Italy and oregano

[barry1010]

Lemongrass, mint, horseradish and oregano (marjoram) are herbs, not spices

[Canary42]

Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme

For me, it's black pepper, mustard, and chili sauce.
