I didn't have a problem with the OP living life the way they wanted to; it was the tone that was really irritating and implying that anyone else not making the same choices was doing so out of personal preference, rather than out of necessity.

It's nice that you're able to buy exotic spices where you live, but i'm fine with how you said it because you didn't say something like: you couldn't live anywhere else besides where you are or you'd shoot yourself. Or that you use exotic spices in your cooking because you enjoy variety in your life. Don't we all!
