After the beginning of the global spice trade around 1500 B.C, did herb and spice populations stay relatively healthy and stable throughout ancient history? Have some major plants gone extinct due to agriculture practices, changing culinary preferences, or military action?
First time asker! I was curious how stable rosemary, sumac, saffron, basil, cinnamon, cumin etc…have been in agriculture throughout ancient history, since the global spice trade started in Southeast Asia around 1500 B.C.
Extinction scenarios I was picturing: Did Persians over-harvest a spice? Rulers in Axum declare a flavor illegal and it disappeared? Taiwanese merchants deem something sacred and illegal to share with the world and then had a massive crop-failure? Or was the trade's geographic diversity and its merchant network a part of its strength in keeping various plant populations healthy?
I'm not too knowledgable on this time period, so please excuse my examples if they're a bit over-the-top. My reasoning for asking this is that I was curious if there were certain flavors we will never get to experience. Thank you!
My Santa NAILED IT. They are in France for work and sent me an insane amount of sour candies, herbs, spices, condiments, and gorgeous sea salt. I went to culinary school and love cooking at home so I'm beyond thrilled.
I've got a pretty good culinary garden of all your standard stuff, what're some herbs/spices/ingredients worth growing that I might have never heard of? [x-post gardening]
I recently saw pápalo in a recipe, and it's rare for me to see an ingredient that I've never even heard of. I could maybe track some down in town, but if it grows like most similar herbs I could also try to order some seeds and just try them out that way.
It got me wondering about other things that might be hard to get here but could thrive in a garden. Specifically thinking about herbs and spices, something that packs a big enough flavor to be worth going through the trouble of growing. I'm in Houston, TX so no trouble getting enough warmth/sun. Thanks y'all!
[WP] If you ingest certain culinary herbs and spices together, you acquire superhuman or magical abilities. The better they taste, the stronger you become. Chefs are now the most feared warriors on the planet.
I've recently started making belts out of herbs and spices...
... my family says it's a waist of thyme.
Your spice rack has room for Salt, Pepper, and 2 other spice shakers. For the rest of your life, what 2 spices are you going to make the best use of for your culinary creations?
[REQUEST] List of complementary herbs and spices as they relate to EACH OTHER.
It's easy to find which herbs go with chicken, and which spices are recommended for vegetables, but I can't seem to find anything about mixing them together.
I'd like to try more herbs and spices, but I can't find anything about mixing them.
Even something with a list of herb/spice combinations would be awesome. Does anyone have a resource?
EDIT: Hmm, anyone tried this? http://cuuks.com/
still a work in progress, but i’m creating an alter space for the first time ever. my herbs and spices are on the shelves along with crystals - they’re hard to see with all of the ivy surrounding them. any suggestions/critiques for what else i should incorporate?!
Are you a secret blend of 11 herbs and spices?

I think we should make an official list of all the classes of pretentious and annoying culinary gatekeepers.
People like:
Italians who think they're the arbiter of all italian food. And food that isn't Italian, but they for some reason think they can dictate anyways.
Spice Queens.
People who's family was killed by a well done steak.
The Philly Cheese steak freakout.
American Food Bad.

Ketchup is for kids.
Anyone who uses the word authentic to mean, "How my mom cooked it when I was a kid."
Any other suggestions?
My friend thinks this is some culinary spice because that's what his aunt told him and I keep telling him its weed but he doesn't believe me. Am I crazy or is this weed?
Do most herbs and spices have 0 calories or is it listed as that because of the <5 per serving rule?
Title says most of it. If you're making a dish that has a lot of spices in it does stuff like cumin, paprika, pepper, salt, cayenne, chili powder, oregano, thyme, rosemary, etc, etc have any calories in it that add up enough to be worth measuring or is it actually 0?
Hands down the best jerky I’ve ever tried. Made of soy bean curd and yummy spices and herbs. So juicy and flavorful. Got it at our local Asian grocery. 💗

Whats the point of adding herbs and spices to cures if you have to wash it off anyway?
I have seen quite a few recipes that require a blend of different herbs and spices during the curing stage. However, prior to drying, the cure has to be completely wahed off. As I understand it, only salt can penetrate the meat while herbs and spices stay on the surface. Is there something I am missing?
I'm trying to surprise my husband with some themed LOTR/Hobbit themed teas and I'm a newbie to the world of tea, could you lovely people help me come up with some herbs, tea leaves and spices to make blends based on characters and places?

CottageCore but make it Star Wars; I got to travel with my partner to Batuu in Disneyland and of course we found the one Cottagecore nook with hanging herbs and spices from different planets in the outer rim. He took this snap of me in my ultimate space cottagecore element.

Here’s one for the sous vide veggie lovers! Sweet potato mash—183°/2 hrs. Cut up a sweet potato (or two), pack the bag with lots of butter/fresh herbs/spices, cook, and mash em up in a pot afterwards (after you remove the sprigs). I usually make it as a bed for my red wine-braised short ribs. 🍠🥩

I wanna do something to add some flavor to some nachos I might make in the future since I just wanna add something more than just sprinkling cheese and all that. What kind of toppings, spices, herbs, seasonings, extras and others do you put on your nachos to spice it up I wanna add that down.
