The best things to cook with aren’t from Europe; Garlic, Onion, Cinnamon, Peppers.
Ketchup is the biggest tho imo, not an ingredient but still

There are native versions of garlic in Europe, but yeah, it’s true, especially for the middle to northern parts. There were always delicous herbs to use as spices in the south, though, like oregano.
