I even have a book from the 1700s detailing the use of various herbs.

do you ever lend it out to the other brits to read? ;)

Give other Brits such an old book? What if they put it in their personal collection?

"Cheers pal, straight to the British Museum. Come, you can read the plaque about how the recipes used to be yours."

Nah, although that’s older than the US it’s not an old book by our standards. That one’s probably just a first edition of one of Mary Berry’s books.

Sounds like you've never had a lincolnshire sausage, or a nicely made shepherd's pie. Pies and pasties are often seasoned too.
