64. Spice: Write about flavors and tastes or a favorite spice of yours.

Dang, I was pretty stumped by this writing prompt. I mean on the surface easy, surely I know off the top of my head my favorite spice. However when I started to think I thought wait… Do I have a favorite spice. I mean I do love me some turmeric not just because of the crazy amount of healing and anti inflammatory properties in it due to the chemical Curcumin but I love the way it colors dishes especially curry dishes that fantastic yellow. Not so much the way it colors my dishes or Tupperware or my hands after preparing and eating it. But I have to say too much tumeric which I am guilty of putting in ‘healthy’ smoothies can lead to a strong earthy taste, which isn’t my favorite. The most used spice I would say for me is probably black pepper if that counts? I mean I add it to almost every dish I make so I thought it ought to get a mention in my favorite spices count down. Maybe for flavor wise I would have to go with something like cumin or coriander as they are both spices I use time and again.

What would you say is your favorite spice or flavor? Does it roll off your tongue or did you have to think for a minute too?
