    The funniest thing about these threads are the yanks trying to convince themselves that dumping an entire spice rack on everything makes it better.

      Serving vegetables boiled and plain is how you end up with a bunch of people who swear they hate vegetables. Spice helps.

      Entire wars were fought for access to spices. If we have cheap access to every spice we could ever want, why not throw a bunch of spices on to make it pop with flavor?

        “pop with flavour”

        There are only obscure german words to describe the level of gastronomic disgust I have at the phrase.

        You would put ketchup on wagyu to make it “pop with flavour”

          Personally I’m not a fan of vinegar tomato paste.

          I’m talking throwing a bit of garlic powder, some granulated onion, dash of pepper, dash of parsley and oregano and some seasoning salt to give the flavor some body if it still needs it.

      Just because we have a blend called Allspice, doesn’t mean we dump the whole rack in there. Also portion control is absolutely essential with most spices. Don’t be jealous of us just because we never used spices as currency.
