Poll: What spices are in your spice drawer/cabinet right now?

Hey Steve, do you have Black Lava Salt? I ordered some from Hawaii

it is pretty on food, but does a number in your digestive track, sort of like when you eat beets.
I have smoked salt, lemon salt, red sea salt,salt with herbs, etc. but I still prefer my Maldon Sea Salt. It is my fave. How about you?

 
Karen, I discov. Jalapeno Steak butter online. I love it on burgers (beef &lamb). I'm tempted to

try it on pork chops, but haven't yet. I've tried one of Dan & Buck's other seasonings for chicken....I didn't like it at all.

 
I've also got some sumac, and

at least 5 different kinds of salt, not counting the kosher stuff.
I said I ran out of paper before I ran out of spices/herbs/seasonings.

 
Just stopped by Penzey's this week and picked up 1 of everything...

I love that place. I even bought stuff I'll never use, I just know it. Like, Northwoods Seasoning, Italian Sausage Seasoning, Breakfast Sausage Seasoning, I must have been hungry because it sounded good at the moment!
I swear by DizzyPig for my Big Green Egg bar-b-que.
They have terrific spices and great recipes on their site.

I have that Black Salt (smells like eggs, right?) but my favorite is the . . .

English Flake Salt from Chiarello's NapaStyle

and Truffle Salt from The Truffle Cafe in Pike Place Market, Seattle.

My "collection" from NapaStyle, includes the English Flake Salt, Black Salt, Peruvian Pink Salt, Gray Salt (another favorite, by the way) and Sicillian White Salt.

From other sources, I've acquired the previously mentioned truffle salt, smoked salt (great for bbq's) several grades of sal gris, kosher salt and the always popular table salt.

Bottom line, if I could only have one, it would be the English Flake. The texture and clean flavor are amazing on fresh corn with Plugra butter. Mmmmmmm.

 
I WAS happy with them... darn. It's a small TJ, so I guess they have to limit brands smileys/frown.gif

 
I forgot some baking (sweet) ones.

cardomom
cinnamon
Chinese 5-spice
allspice
nutmeg
ginger

paprika
peppercorns
coriander
chili powder

 
Karen, I think Buck's

is made locally. It's a barbeque-type of flavoring with garlic, salt, pepper, and some more I can list when I have the bottle in front of me... it's used (around here) in a marinade for church/firehouse-type barbeques (and is VERY good!).

 
Ingreds. in the Jalapeno Steak butter sprinkles: Salt, Jalapeno pepper, garlic,

spices, butter, corn syrups, paprika, nonfat milk, non-caking ingredients, etc.
