  1. Similar spices, similar taste!  


  2. the explorers (brits & french) and the spice trade.  both India and N. Af are former colonies of the Europeans.

  3. There are not close but they lay on the same equatorial line.  The topography and climate are extremely similar.   Both lay on the silk road so the trade of spices would have occurred for centuries.  

  4. use same types of food, they probably just use different spices to change the taste.
