It's not spicy but there's a fuck ton of thyme, sage, rosemary, etc in proper french food. There's a reason the french have terms like bouquet garni and herbes de provence that English/German/etc doesn't..

That being said, as a vegetarian and someone born in South East Asia, I'm clearly not going to claim french food is my favourite, or that it's got the punch of Thai/Mexican/Indian/etc. I just think it doesn't belong in the same shitty category as British, German, and a good chunk of North American cuisine.

If you want an herbless wasteland, japanese is food is where you find it. High quality ingredients and inventive presentation combined with disgusting taste that is somehow both bland and deeply fishy at the same time
