If your food tastes like it needs something it's almost always salt and/or acid, not spices

OP just look up spices/herbs for the flavor profile you’re going for. I tend to season a lot of my “American” food similarly with a lot of parsley and basil. “Mexican” food will have cumin, paprika, and various ground Chiles. “Italian” food oregano, thyme etc etc etc. And obviously salt, pepper, garlic with everything. Once you have a general sense of the style of food you are going for you’ll just pick up over time specific additions that help specific proteins or dishes. Usually I don’t really use recipes outside of baking stuff but I’ll still briefly google whatever I plan on cooking and might notice some spices that I’ll want to add and next time I cook that thing It’ll already be in the back of my head.

paprika is the one true spice. love me some chicken paprikash.poverty goat posted:If your food tastes like it needs something it's almost always salt and/or acid, not spices Generally though, it's this. use a little more salt than you think you need, and keep lots of lemons and limes on hand for acid. Also, salt at the end to taste so you don't end up overdoing it. It generally isn't going to matter if you add it at the end vs while cooking.

I agree with the paprika suggestion. If you want a delicious and easy to make snack, try this: heat up some white rice. Take a little butter and mix it up into the rice. Then, add some paprika to it and mix it around a bit. Fuckin delicious.

I’m pretty sure every spice is good to put on food, it’s kind of the definition of a spice. I guess El Yucateco red and orange are pretty good on pizza, tacos, and eggs. El Yucateco brown is good in chili, but I find it a bit onion-heavy to use as a condiment itself. El Yucateco green is good in chicken soup, but it’s got that god-awful alien-green color to it, so it’s best not to look at your food after applying it.

Hot sauce is not a flavor. If your food is so tasteless your only choice is to add hot sauce, then you are doing it wrong. I enjoy both Indian and Mexican food, but when your sauce is so hot that you cannot even taste the food any more then you have lost the point of good tasting food.

OgNar posted:Hot sauce is not a flavor. The secret here is that heat is relative. To someone who regularly consumes spicy hot foods, they don't get that same burning overload you do and indeed enjoy the flavor underneath it. To someone that eats a lot of hot things, their globs of chili oil in their pho add a lot of flavor and less sensation of heat than someone new to spicy things putting a couple squirts of tapatio on their eggs. It's like any other strong flavor, it's an acquired taste and the acquisition is just getting used to whatever the strong component is and learning to enjoy the subtleties underneath. Think of black coffee or fermented foods.

Maybe if you'd studied this in a more indepth way that just reading hipster foodblogs you wouldn't need a scotch bonnet to get results.

I like smoked or hot Hungarian paprika. Cayenne pepper is great, too. A local tea & spice store has a "blackened rockfish rub" that's good on any meat. It's salt free, so you can salt it to your own preference. Just make what you like and try new recipes that sound good, IDK. Toys For rear end Bum posted:It's true! A shitload of people in the US are terrified of it, as well. We made beef bulgogi and mandoo at my SIL's house, and my mom was freaking out over MSG being in the recipe. People are afraid for the same reason a bunch of "fat free!" food is marketed as "the healthier option!"
