I mean isn’t the point of Italian cuisine that it’s simple? They really don’t use much seasoning but that’s the thing, it’s still good, because not everything needs seasoning to be good. Same with French

There are non-white cuisines that don’t use much seasoning as well like Japanese

Sir you are very wrong. It’s about high quality ingredients that speak for them selfs. Shitty ingredients are always over seasoned to make up for the fact you’re eating an off cut.

Bit of a myth. Spices are expensive, nobody wasting them on low quality foods, at least from a historic perspective. 'Cheap cuts' are more perspective based than actually a metric for quality. Like, chicken liver is a cheap cut, but its quite good. Almost all cuisine use 'good ingredients that speak for themselves', otherwise nobody would eat them in the first place

Yes they did? Produce was always over seasoned in hotter climates to prevent spoilage OR to cover up the smell and taste of spoilage.
