because of inequality! if we count royal treats as a culinary tradition unto itself then europe & britain do have a centuries-long relationship to spices, but most people didn't get to eat that, so the lower class tradition is more related to what grows locally, even specific to that country. britain isn't even that far from where olives grow but they don't use them close to as much as medditerreans
affordability and accessibility are absolutely meshed with tradition. most people are not formally trained in cooking or gardening, so tradition is what folk's expectations and imaginations are moderated by.
i wouldn't know anything outside of anglo-french cooking were it not sought out extracurricular or passed down from someone else that broke out of it
