I still feel that this explanation is far from accurate from the perspective 
that you present it in. Given they may have controlled the selling wares in 
the Northern barbaric regions but the bottom line is that without the Middle 
eastern importers and their interaction with the traders from said barbaric 
areas, those barbarians would have been flavoring their foods with sage, 
thyme and hyssop. Cinnamon, grains, pepper and nutmeg would not have been 
known. Written records show this NOT to be the case. Indeed, period cookery 
manuals from the North show these items is common use among the nobility and, 
I still contend, were in common use because of the will of Allah. :-)
