[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like most spices including the licorice flavor (though not fennel seeds but more because of mouth feel than flavor) and cumin and curry. Some herbs I don’t like are rosemary and sage - again because of mouth feel. I don’t [b]understand the point of bay leaves. [/b]

I grew up in a house where almost the only things added to food were salt (and lots of it) and pepper. I use them now in recipes but not at the table. I have traveled a lot and use many spices/herbs that remind me of places I have been. So for me, it’s acquired, not cultural.

My brother has that genetic aversion to cilantro BTW. [/quote]

The point of bay leaves.. one of my staple of my spice cabinet is that you add it to dishes and the goodness sips into the dish and
then it smells like it. You only need ONE leaf per gigantic pot. Very easily to overdo with it so this is really something you don't need to worry yourself about, if you did not grow with it and are in need for using it you can live a very happy life without it.

I grew up with it and I can be happy without it just the same. But OMG when I add it.. that tastes like childhood.[/quote]
