If you could have only 10 spices or seasoning blends on hand for cooking and baking, which would you choose?
06-20-2021 08:01 AM - edited 06-20-2021 12:23 PM
pepper
marjoram
curry
salt
parsley
garlic
paprika
turmeric
oregano
bay
No particular order. Hi @house_cat . Always a good question from you!
(edit: I chose not to get caught up in semantics - I took it as "to spice", as in, "to flavor! to add zest! to add zing & excitement!")

Can we expand to say "seasonings" as some are herbs or blends? (Before anyone starts to "nitpick" about whether something is a spice/herb).

Spices, sans herbs & S&P. (Believe me, they all get a workout in my kitchen!)
apple pie spice
allspice
turmeric
curry
cumin
nutmeg
ginger
cloves
paprika
coriander
cayenne
cinnamon
pepperoncini (red pepper flakes)
#14 - anise, which I use infrequently.
And my favorite blend ~ Cajun
Herbs on the other hand....

basil
tarragon
oregano
thyme
dill
sage - another infrequent one
rosemary
parsley (for when I run out of fresh)

Besides the usual spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, I like a mix i.e. Mrs. Dash's salt free. Like the onion&herbs, garlic&herbs, Italian Herbs, Original, Steak. Chili spices. These have a nice mix of different herbs/spices. I also like the Chinese Five Spices, Indian Red Pepper paste, red pepper flakes.

sea salts
peppercorns
parsley (I like the way it looks in finished products )
Mexene Chilli powder
Mrs. Dash lemon pepper
