Spices

I like rosemary and basil what about you?

[Salmonberries]

Lucky. My gut can't handle spice.

Curry is my master.

Curry is my master.

One time I thought I was putting some sort of mexican spice on ground beef that I was going to use in a burrito. It turned out to be Curry. Worst burrito ever.

Depends on the dish, tomato/pasta dishes I like Basil, Oregano, Garlic, I don't care much for Rosemary. If I want some zing, Chilli, cummin, and SMALL amount of cyenne pepper. Thyme goes well with most meats, I like curry on eggs.

Use a lot of cumin - love it. I mostly use fresh herbs (basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme). They're so easy to grow, so have them on my deck.

I also use a lot of cilantro in dishes for an extra kick of freshness.

Made spaghetti & meatballs last night and the meatballs had: s/p, cumin, oregano, dried rosemary, basil, parsley, cilantro, garlic, onion, peppers, egg, breadcrumbs, worcerstershire.

I mostly use herbs and tons of garlic. Lots of lemon, lime and olive oil too.

Not much of a spices guy myself. Not like I hate them though.

I personally like rolling up basil leaves, stuffing them with cinnamon and smoking it.

My pasta sauce consists of:

3 parts Olive Oil, 1 part butter

3 cloves of garlic

3 tablespoons of a basil pesto sauce

oregano, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, pepper

allow to simmer and melt handful of shredded mozzarella in sauce.

best served with chicken marinated in garlic and red pepper flakes

linguine noodles

finish with parsley and serve

your welcome (except for your breath)

I am partial to Baby Spice and Halliwell myself, they've aged very well while Posh looks like skeletor with fake bewbs and the same generic pose that makes her look like an arthritic with hip problems.

But if we are talking about cooking spices, I recently made a turkey soup with lemon grass and dill weed which was quite spectacular

[CatsPajamas]

Coriander, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, thyme, basil, cloves

Food is nothing without spices

Food is the spice of life, spice is the spice of food. Everything in this world is connected. So says the teachings of Buddha.

I generally try to have one of everything in the spice cabinet (rack wouldn't be enough) and end with all kinds of mixes depending on what it is.

For beef main spice is always pepper. (For a steak or roast coat in pepper garlic and some "steak spice" or whatever you find).

For pork main spice is always salt (for BBQ pork chops it's typically brown sugar melted into soy sauce aka liquid salt).

Of course, there's all kinds of things you can do if it's a pork or beef dish like fajitas or what not remember the magic combo for all things spicy is that sweet and spicy go together awesome.

If I make a curry or hot sauce I tend to try to make it with the base ingredients like cumin or whatever.

Curry is overdone. Everything is curry now. Meh.

[Lychees]

I pretty much throw Thyme in everything, and everything that doesn't get Thyme gets Cumin... love it.

[Tre Mac]

Piri spice or w/e it's called. It's good on chicken, steak and rice which is all I really cook. Just don't tell the Ordos or Harkonen, they'd be all over my base in a heartbeat if they knew i had some.

Guess you have never had good curry. My friends mom really knows how to make any food whether it's italian, mexian, chinese or indian. And she makes such good butter chicken I would pay for it; it's even better than some of the restaurants.

Too bad samosa garden on kingsway moved that place had the best butter chicken in bc.

There is a famous korean dish called "kam ja tang" and it requires the use of perilla seeds.

Very cool stuff.
