Colonialism and food

I know colonialism was generally not a good thing, but...

I really, really love food and I really enjoyed the fact that I could get cheese and croissants in Cape Town, and that here in Namibia (a former German colony) you can get those dense German seed breads, ginger cookies and yummy baked goods.

So much guilt, but I love that the Europeans exported their sweets to the colonies. So I can nibble on goodness at my whim. What indulgence.
