Katsuri Methi. An absolute essential for a decent curry. Also Hing aka Devil’s Piss, if for no other reason than the name.
MSG
Okay so who here toasts their spices?
Black cumin and rosemary, sometimes habareno pepper
What do you think habanero goes well with? My father had no taste buds and could really only detect oil, salt, fat, and heat. Naturally this lead to him overloading in one area or another, because that’s all he wanted to taste. One time he served me pizza with crushed habanero and the floral perfuminess bowled me over. I’ve never really used them since, but I remember loving them before that incident!!
Summer savory!
Salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika.
Thyme.
Yes actually you win. I had fresh for the first time last year and it destroyed my mind.
Hungarian paprika is awesome, I like to mix the sweet and hot varieties 50-50, and often use smoked paprika on top of that. I like paprika
old bay
I’m British
So ketchup on everything?
Salt, maybe
beige is not a spice
Smoked paprika ‼
Smoked paprika. It just adds so much depth to anything that I add it to! I’m also a big fan of cumin and turmeric.
The only 5 spices you’ll ever need:
-
Salt
-
Pepper
-
Onion powder
-
Garlic powder
-
MSG
There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that doesn’t benefit from these 5. You can always add other spices, too, but these are the baseline for every single dish that isn’t meant to be sweet. And even on some sweet stuff, it’s pretty good. I tried it on waffles once and it was amazing.
I agree with the first two and sometimes the last (though I tend to go for stocks instead to get the umami). I’m really not a fan of the onion and garlic powder, though. If I need onion and garlic I get onion and garlic. Don’t like the powder forms.

Garlic salt is what I use on anything when I don’t wanna think about it but want it to be delicious. Black pepper to finish most things.
Bay leaves in savory dishes
Nutmeg on/in sweet things
Nutmeg also rocks in mashed potatoes and cheese sauces!
I consume both those things frequently, I’ll have to try it! I switched to freshly grinding my nutmeg earlier this year and will take any excuse to try it in different things.
I bought five nutmeg nuts two years ago… I’m halfway through my third one lol
Doesn’t take much hey
Oooh that’s a good price for 12 lb of nutmeg
See, now you have something useful to leave for the next generation
