honestly, for real you can't, nick? that's astonishing.
do you just eat the same things over and over, then? and just flavor everything with paprika, chili and curry powders?
do you do your own cooking, nick, or eat out a lot?

The leaves (cilantro) would be the herb and the seeds are really a spice. Just sayin.

wowee- even more spice chat - I love it!
When I wrote the blog in December, I went with the answers that were here, as well as those that were polled on my fb & twitter, as well as my friends.
I don't think I'm supposed to put a direct link to the page, but the site's in my signature, and I even talked about a couple of you guys
Anyhow, here are the overall results...
Garlic, Cumin, Oregano, Thyme & Cinnamon, in that order.

 

[Susansmith099]

Sorry I'm coming to your party late jkath, but I want to get my 5 cents worth in. Here are my five faves:

Cinnamon
Tarragon (w/scrambled eggs, mushrooms and Fontina - yum!)
Basil
Sage
Garlic powder.

A tip of the whisk to Zagut! Kudos on the choice of my friend Bacon. I consider bacon a condiment and definitely use it more than ketchup...or relish...or........

parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme

That's only four. They do go extremely well with chicken. I have started using those in the gravy for hot chicken sandwiches and it's perfect.

That's because one of my favorite of all time songs only mention these four herbs in its lyric.

I use them quite a bit as well...
