If you could have only three spices in your pantry, which would you choose?
Salt, black pepper, and red pepper, maybe?

Errr... did you mean "pantry"? Black pepper, turmeric & curry or chilli powder.

bostjan the adequate 🥉 Unintentionally funny typo... I hadn't guessed turmeric would make the top three, but I personally love its earthy qualities in light-to-moderate amounts. -
Professor Yaffle I use it when I cook boiled rice, definitely adds something.

Chili powder, cumin and probably black pepper would be the bare necessities in my pantry. 1/24/23

Salt and pepper for sure. (For centuries, suppliers of both were among the wealthiest of the wealthy.) #3...tough call. I assume you're not counting vanilla as a spice...Probably saffron, given its value. I've never had it...but it's worth more than its weight in gold, so there must be something super-awesome about it.

Why not vanilla? I keep some in my spice cabinet. Saffron is very expensive, but, to me, it really doesn't have a strong flavour like other spices. It's one that I never really understood from a culinary perspective, but, to each their own... -

I thought about it before I wrote that. I decided that vanilla is more of a FLAVORING than it is a SPICE. Not sure if that difference is valid, but that's how I think of it.

Oregano, cayenne pepper and salt.

Salt, crushed red pepper, & dried garlic.

I just learned onions, garlic and celery are not considered spices! Ground red pepper is a must for me. I was going to say onion and garlic, but those are considered food and not spice. And I don't need added salt, as plenty of that can be found in food already. So my other two would probably be basil and vanilla.

I'm lucky!!! My Doc said that I had cut out too much salt, so he added some back. I don't go heavy with the salt shaker, but there are a few veggies that just aren't good without a little bit of salt. PLUS, if I eat too much pepper, my acid reflux gets wicked!!!
