What is your favorite herb or spice?

Whether you cook or not, what herb or spice do you love to have in your food? It can be as simple as salt or pepper or as complex as a bouquet garni.

I adore sticks of cinnamon, especially when there's work to be done, because it reduces hunger and bites enough to keep you alert and awake. If chewed enough, it becomes very sweet. ^^;

I like to unload a crap-load of salt on stuff that has applicable things such as salt. :)

I find that garlic powder works in almost every recipe. It's good stuff, cheap, and tasty - I love garlic.

Red Hot Chili Peppers!!! :lol:

Mostly anything that can make my food extra Spicy! :D

I like finely chopped basil leaves in my spaghetti, doesn't really taste as good when there's no basil in it.

And i agree with garlic, as a stir-fry dish without garlic seems to be missing its soul or something haha.

Sea salt and garlic.
I like coarse sea salt, here in Brazil we have a type that comes in really big crystals, and if you take those and throw in a pepper mill you get a really delicious salt that makes food taste much better. It is great for fries, salads, beef and everything else, I even use it for baking bread.
Garlic gives a really good flavor to the food and I use lots of it in everything that I cook, and I cook a lot, I even put it in breads when I make bread.
Well lastly I am not sure if is a spice, but it can be used to make dips and dressings, it is cucumber pickles, of the slightly sweet type. I know that you can eat it by itself or in hamburgers, but it makes a mean salad dressing.

I usually add salt, pepper and garlics into my cooking.

Parsley, dill, horse-raddish, musterd and ketchup.

Chili peppers (the small ones). I prefer the green-colored variety - they smell really great when crushed and used in sauces, way better-smelling and as spicy as the red variety.

I also love mustard. My family keeps complaining that I always drain the mustard bottle dry (I keep using it on my bacon and hotdog alongside sweet chili sauce).

I liked the Black pepper! no particular reason.

Onion, Garlic, Red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, and chicken seasoning!

these are the ones i tend to use a lot, but there are tons more that i like to use as well! :3

Black pepper! And I've started to like cinnamon recently.

Cheers for cinnamon!!
:}

Yeah! It really helps in making my desserts more delicious.

peppermill, Garlic Powder, Rosemarry,

Super hot chili, garlic.

I like oregano.

I love many spices though I'd choose Cumin and Fennel seed for the unique flavor that they give to fish and poultry dishes.

OK i dont whats so soud rude but salt is not a hurb or spice its a chemical compound!
So its wrong to have it in this forum :P
