Given the hygiene and food safety during the Victorian era, a taco bell burrito would be the cleanest food that child has ever eaten.

Counter point, that kid is not ready for advanced spices like cumin.

Wasn't that when Europe was colonizing everyone to get spices?

Spice was for trade, not food from my understanding.

Victorian recipies use cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, mace, and long pepper pretty often.

I think surviving recipes are almost all upper-class food, so regular people maybe used more salt and herbs than actual spices.

True. Probably lots more pickles and ferments than most people eat now
