What's the spice you use most?
-
Salt.
Other than salt and pepper
Oh… Taco Seasoning.
Scrolled too much to find salt

…Other than salt and pepper
For me it’s cumin. It’s one of the few spices I buy in bulk and actually use up my supply.
In the winter it may lean towards cardamom thanks to copious amounts of chia.
I have four that I use for everything equally so I’m going to consider them as a single seasoning, like Mrs. Dash. Onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. I put that mix in anything I cook.

I planted herbs all around my house, so I always have fresh herbs available. But I almost always end up using thyme, occasionally rosemary.
People here keep saying garlic, which I also use extensively but I don’t think of it as a spice.

Garlic (usually the refrigerated kind from a jar)
Life is too short for jarlic!!
It’s not that serious!

Onion/garlic powder. In roughly equal quantities.

Thyme. Not that often, but whenever I use it, I use loads.

Hondashi
Gochujang, laoganma
Ginger, soy sauce, roasted sesame, white pepper
I think you know what kinds of food I really like
-
Oh that’s interesting. Is it powder?
Not quite powder, more like tiny, porous granules.

When I cook spicy, I use a lot of my premixed masala, though I don’t know the exact composition or ratios, so I guess that would disqualify that. Second would probably be sechuan pepper. I love that shit.
-
Not counting sugar? garlic powder or Cinnamon and vanilla. I use garlic powder to go with salt and pepper in a 7:2:1 ratio as like a base for everything from tuna salad to bean burritos. Thrice a week I make overnight oats with Vanilla extract and cinnamon.
Note my favorite is smoked paprika, I just know fewer recipes and synergistic flavors.
SPG is a big mover in my cooking, but then garam masala, creole spice are not far behind.

Coriander seeds.
Cumin and the other cumin (what’s Kümmel called in English?)

Pretty similar for me except I swap the regular paprika for smoked paprika. Maybe a tad less versatile, but thhr smoke flavor works in most of the things I cook most frequently.

Coriander seeds fucking slap

Caraway/cumin, thyme, wild garlic and lovage (which happens to be a surprisingly close translation of the name in Polish). The first two are really helpful in pods based kitchen. Lovage has a bit of a MSG effect, brings up umami.
But half of the time I just randomly spray stuff with one of the masalas I got from a local Indian store.

Is garlic a spice or an ingredient? I use a lot of fucking garlic.
For spice i love paprika

Life is too short to waste time cleaning a garlic press.
Don’t use a press – just smash with a big knife, pull off the paper, and chop a little. Jarred doesn’t taste the same. Jar-garlic is why I won’t buy Costco’s garlic ‘wings’ yet will buy the Rotisserie chicken right next to it: the ‘wings’ have an enormous excess of garlic, but it all tastes like ‘jar’ and only faintly like garlic.

I use way too much garlic to bother with a press. Just chop it. It’s faster, easier to clean and you can more easily vary the size of the garlic bits.
