Got into an argument about this on old DiS. It’s wank for gullible twats is what it is.
Garam Masala, if you’ll permit mixes (chinese 5 set a precedent)
Ras El Hanout then (for me Clive)
paprika or gtfo
Best spice mix if we are doing that too is Chinese five, mostly because it contains cinnamon which we have already established is the leader of all spices.
I got the impression that was Geri Horner. Ahahahahahaha!
So do the other spice mixes mentioned, which certainly may add strength to your claim.
OTOH maybe Cinnamon is just such a weak boi it needs the additional spices to carry it.
Nah, cinnamon lifts the other spices from comparative mediocrity.
I like cloves but then again I like Christmas and France.
Spice: tie between cumin and smoked paprika Spice mix: baharat
Easy.
SPORTY
Ginger. Is ginger a spice?
If not, cumin.
Cumin because it goes in almost everything.
But quite enjoying adding sumac to everything lately too
cayenne is my go-to
Spices rule. Cumin or paprika probably the best. For worst, can we include herbs? Because I struggle to think of any reason for the use of bay leaves. They impart no flavour whatsoever and you have to fish the fuckers out before you eat.
Get better bay leaves.
and / or Grind them up into your spice mix.
Another vote for Davidoff Cool Old Spice.
