I have now more exotic spices in my kitchen than all of post-Roman Rhaetia combined. Related: Why is it so hard to find domestic and local herbs which were used back then?
@CapitalB It really isn't, you just need to plant them in your backyard. I have tomatoes, figs and cale. My neighbor has chickens and some other vegetables, so we are always trading.
@Zeb herbs, not vegetables. And yes it is that hard when the plant e.g. only grows above 1200m asl or in a swamp.
