“Everything they said was instant agreement or cause for fascinating debate.” I C U GRACE

This ain’t why she told me this book it’s because she’s Dr. Grace the linguistics nerd who is rad and I asked her about her favorite book, but I feel seen

“They talked and talked…” like my friend that wanted me to read this book and myself. Just me and a girl that gets me. Let’s hope Rami and Grace keep this up!!

“For a country that profited so well trading in spices, its citizens were violently adverse to actually using them.”
I know understand the subtitle of this book - can’t wait to see how to destroy with flavors and words.
Cholera counter still 1
Might be more for the white people if they add spices to food!

I was gonna do an imperialistic racism counter but that be excessive, similar to how excessively refrained white people are at seasoning their food. I would say do you need ice for that burn but there’s probably no burn because there’s no spice because I’m also white :,(
Cholera counter: 1, of the asiatic variety
Mood: curious not sad yet

Ugh I told my friend I would read her favorite book and now I’m like okay okay hold onto ur butt cmack it’s a book that’s not wlw romance but you asked for this so follow through and don’t shy away from it being possibly harrowing
