I'm intrigued; what do you use it for?

[Anonymous]

cumin, coriander, cardamom, turmeric, fenugreek, red chillies, mustard, onion seeds, fennel, asafoetida.

Ginger, garlic, cilantro, green chillies, thai basil.

I cook a lot of Indian, Thai, Mexican foods. My Italian repertoire is limited to probably 5 dishes at the most.

Italian seasoning. Or the Penzey lemon-ginger-garlic blend. Third in line is curry powder.

Cumin (seed, ground, or roasted and ground), red pepper flakes, cinnamon, oregano, anise seed, and cayenne pepper. Most of my recipes involve at least one of these.

[Anonymous]

Cumin is in the lead.

Cilantro

Most go to after black pepper is Lawry's Seasoning Salt.

Cumin and fennel seed. (Obviously not in the same dished). Herbs de provence and lemon for chicken.

[Anonymous]

Bay leaves, fennel seeds, cumin, cinnamon

[Anonymous]

Adobo and onion powder. Guess my culture.

[Anonymous]

Probably garlic and onion powders, since we love the flavor of both but hate the texture, so whenever a recipe calls for garlic and/or onions, we replace with the powder. We also tend to use a lot of cilantro, oregano, and thyme.
