Ode To Spices

Garlic. I wonder if it's Italians or Koreans who eat the garlic the most. Or is it herb? Don't forget MSG!

Maggie's is one of the secret ingredients in my toolbox.

I like 'em all! (nearly).

Cardaman is a good one, whether whole pods in a curry, or powder in turkish coffee....

Yea, I love it in Turkish coffee. I buy one with it already ground in it.

It should go without saying that spices are comparatively dirt cheaper in ethnic grocery stores vs the "international" aisles at general American grocery stores. I think I got 8 or 12oz of madras curry the last time at an Indian grocery for like $2.99, and 16oz of gochu for $5.99 at an Asian market.

I agree. I love perusing the Indian grocery store. Seems a waste in both money and freshness to shop elsewhere.

I never met a spice I didn't like when used appropriately but Anise is one of my favorites that many overlook

Pizzelles would be nothing without anise in the batter.
