Hypo: 1,000,000 but you can only eat 3 spices for a year
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 3rd, 2025 1:01 PM Author: Bistre Pit Which three do you take Salt does not count as a spice for the purposes of the hypo. Also by "spice" I mean something more expansive, "things in the spice section at the grocer" |
Date: September 3rd, 2025 1:03 PM Author: odious chestnut doctorate I think I would probably starve. Only chance is to pick three leafy herbs (if those are allowed) and hope I don't die (I would die).
disco fries should do this, though |

Date: September 3rd, 2025 1:22 PM Author: anal ape office I love cumin. Cumin and oregano are in a lot of Mexican food and also soups that I like. Oregano is in a lot of Italian and also stews. I'll miss basil and mint, my two favorite fresh herbs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5769428&forum_id=2).#49233866) |

Date: September 3rd, 2025 2:08 PM Author: Turquoise tanning salon They don't use cumin, they use caraway seed. They don't use oregano, they use marjoram. Gulash is mainly flavored with paprika, but it can have caraway seed. Almost every euro cuisine uses black pepper to some extent. I had gulyasleves in Budapest a week ago.

Date: September 3rd, 2025 1:22 PM Author: Bistre Pit Good question, my hypo presentation is pretty flimsy Lemons don't and fresh garlic doesn't count either. Chili I'm on the fence about Basil/Oregano etc can be fresh or dried but they do count |

Date: September 4th, 2025 7:51 AM Author: Zippy Sex Offender Place Of Business In this hypo, after we choose the three spices, does the world cooperate, or do we have to constantly police every piece of food we eat and fail if we inadvertently eat an extra spice? For example, if I walk into a restaurant and order a burrito, will it automatically come without the non-chosen spices, or do I need to ask for the ingredient list first and then decide if I can eat it?

Most aromatics you can just grow or buy without drying (rosemary, thyme, mint, onion, garlic, dill, chives, basil, parsley, cilantro, etc.). I get salt. My three spices I would take would be black pepper, cumin, and garam masala. |

Black pepper is pretty useless imo |
