Okay so who here toasts their spices?
Summer savory!
Black cumin and rosemary, sometimes habareno pepper
Salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika.

Hungarian paprika is awesome, I like to mix the sweet and hot varieties 50-50, and often use smoked paprika on top of that. I like paprika
Thyme.
I’m British
So ketchup on everything?
Salt, maybe
beige is not a spice
Smoked paprika ‼
The only 5 spices you’ll ever need:
-
Salt
-
Pepper
-
Onion powder
-
Garlic powder
-
MSG
There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that doesn’t benefit from these 5. You can always add other spices, too, but these are the baseline for every single dish that isn’t meant to be sweet. And even on some sweet stuff, it’s pretty good. I tried it on waffles once and it was amazing.
I agree with the first two and sometimes the last (though I tend to go for stocks instead to get the umami). I’m really not a fan of the onion and garlic powder, though. If I need onion and garlic I get onion and garlic. Don’t like the powder forms.

Smoked paprika. It just adds so much depth to anything that I add it to! I’m also a big fan of cumin and turmeric.
Garlic salt is what I use on anything when I don’t wanna think about it but want it to be delicious. Black pepper to finish most things.
Bay leaves in savory dishes
Nutmeg on/in sweet things
Nutmeg also rocks in mashed potatoes and cheese sauces!
I consume both those things frequently, I’ll have to try it! I switched to freshly grinding my nutmeg earlier this year and will take any excuse to try it in different things.
I bought five nutmeg nuts two years ago… I’m halfway through my third one lol
Doesn’t take much hey
Oooh that’s a good price for 12 lb of nutmeg
