If you can only add 1 spice to your food, what would it be?

for me, it's SALT!

i've tried garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, sugar, oregano, etc as the only spice in my rice, steak, eggs, veggies, etc.

salt stands out as the one spice that adds the most delicious flavor.

and my blood pressure is fine. 110 over 70

Yes, but you're still in kindergarten so you still have time for high blood pressure.


Try a GOOD Garam Masala ... with less (no) cloves.

This, or maybe ground cayenne.

Most food already has enough salt naturally, so you don't really need to add it.

one of the good parts of being raised poor. I enjoy foods without a bunch of extras. I don't like salt, sugar, ketchup, steak sauce...just plain. The pepper thing I picked up recently but it really brings out the flavor in most foods. Steak, mac and cheese, even fish.

Never a lot. Just a dusting over the top.

Meh, I'm changing my mind.

Granulated garlic FTW!

Actually, let me got with Paprika, Granulated Garlic, Granulated Onion, Black Pepper, and Ground Cayenne. All in equal parts! That counts as one, right? :)

I wouldn't consider salt to be a spice. If you want to go by the technical definition of spice, then white pepper, I guess. If you're talking about herbs and spices, then either thai basil or cilantro.
