The only major colonial empire which did not, in any way, import food from the colonies?

I'm from Denmark, we traditionally ate porridge and potatoes and pork, and of course rye bread so dense you can club someone to death with it if you want to.

Oh no, we imported lots of food. And we kept it nearly separate, never to mix it with our own.

We imported Indonesian food, mixed it with Cantonese food and called it "Chinese food", or the "Chinese Indian Speciality Restaurant" https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinees-Indisch_restaurant
