pretty well accepted ingredients and flavors worldwide. Its a strong flavor too, so it can cover up poor cooking. They're also inexpensive. Peasants and common people like cheap foods, its why peasant food is so good and restaurants like selling it because its a higher profit.

This is the first thing I thought of upon opening the thread. Some religions forbid it because onions and garlic have many lives within them.

It's acknowledging the existence and fragility of different forms of life. That's not primitive in the least. It's actually quite forward thinking. Outright dismissal of others points of view without considering their possibilities is far more narrow minded and stuck in the past.

Organosulfur compounds are a common plant defense mechanism that can also suppress harmful pathogens and parasites in our diet, we can speculate that we evolved to seek them out. Allicin is one of the more potent chemicals found in garlic, onion, shallots and chives, another is mustard oil, also found in horse radish and wasabi.

I am wondering now. Did mesoamericans have any high organosulfur foods? Are there any such crops from the new world? Maybe they were content with chillis.

Only food they eat is food that does not require killing. Meat is a no go, along with any vegetable that requires the plant dies. I forget if dairy is kosher with them but the foods are basically most fruits and non vital vegetables that dont have an evil association
