Britain conquered India, many other parts of Asia and much of the Americas and yet they still eat Marmite. Willingly.

I look at it the other way around. The food was so horrible, England sent entire fleets of ships just to get takeout from India. It didn't matter that it took months on end and people lost their lives along the way, it was still worth it.

The taste of their food and the beauty of their women made the British the best sailors in the world.
