I feel like there should be honorable mentions for garlic, which is neither a spice nor an herb, and MSG which is just a chemical.

Those are my best cooking friends.

[–] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

another honorable mention to the maillard reaction, browning/searing food does a ton of heavy lifting

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've been trying to find MSG, can't find it at any of the grocery stores near me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, it should be with spices and salt right?

I’m glad you think so. My French toast never comes out right but maybe I need more garlic. Or should I put cinnamon on the list?

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Forgot the /s. Definitely share that recipe. Chick peas are amazing but I’ve never heard of making French toast with them. Spices are so vast, making a top five is really just about what’s in my nose and on my palate. Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, coffee, brown sugar. There’s another five.

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 months ago

[–] AmericaDeserved711@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

No wonder the clerk looked at me odd when I asked which aisle had cumin /jk

[–] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

  1. Cayenne pepper

  2. Garlic powder

  3. Onion powder

  4. Nooch

  5. Citric acid

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I didn't consider nooch a spice but if it was it'd be 2

[–] anarcho_blinkenist@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

anyone not putting smoked paprika needs to do self-crit

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

  1. Scary

  2. Sporty

  3. Baby

  4. Ginger

  5. Posh

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)
  1. Cinnamon
  2. Dill
  3. Paprika
  4. Ginger
  5. Ground Mustard

I think that's their prominence in terms of actual use in my family at least.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Cinnamon at the top? Dang. It's an easy top 5 in use for me but never a 1

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be fair this is heavily biased by my toddler liking it a lot and wanting it in things. Absent their insistence it would probably be number 3 or 4.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I fucking loved cinnamon even more as a kis than I do now, I kinda ruined it for myself between and stopped eating as much between ages 8 and 12, then I was right back on. Cinnamon does rule.

[–] Hexbear2@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No order:

Smoked Paprika

Allspice

Sichuan Chili

Mint Leaf

Citric Acid Powder

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

There's finally an Asian grocery store in my town that has Sichuan chilli's and I'm hyped to finally work with some. Smoked paprika barely missed the list, mint would also make top 10

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I love all of my spice cabinet equally, I genuinely would not be able to rank them. They are all delicious in their own way.
