no wonder I'm running out of space in the cupboard! And yes, I have used all on that list. Some more than others naturally. I find spices and their history fascinating.
BTW: Thank you for your comments the other day when I was feeling a bit stink. I do appreciate it! Much better now. The trouble with the mini-pill is I get PMS every other week complete with chocolate cravings... gonna do something about that!
I have and use of those puppies. WOw you sure have a lot. You would love the Movie "The mistress of spcies". I loved colour and the story of this movie. I dare say the book would be better but as I had never read it the movie rocks.
ReplyDeleteWOW that is a lot of spices!!! I probably only have about 20 of those! But my problem is that I wouldn't have room for any more!
ReplyDeleteI love your list. I have maybe 90% of what you have (and some you don't - mostly Malaysian stuff courtesy of BIL). I am ashamed to say I didn't know what baharat was so I looked up your link. Ashamed because it is used in Lebanese cuisine and my Dad is Lebanese!
ReplyDeleteLove your list. Envious even :)
ReplyDeleteWow - impressive list. I had to de-stock the pantry a while ago so we are down to a select few herbs and spices but I can honestly say that some of yours have never been in my collection!
ReplyDeletewow thats alot of spices! I've only got about 25 and then don't always use them!
ReplyDeletewow - what an extensive collection of spices, several of which i've never heard of. that's awesome that you do so much cooking. :)
