I love fennel seeds and fennel pollen, and I have a soft spot for cumin. Freshly ground pepper is also a favourite.

I can't really remember a spice that I didn't like!

I can't stand the curry smell in the house either... and hardly if ever use it. When ds comes home, he puts it in everything..... and he likes to cook something hot to eat really late at night (10pm). (He has some evening classes at college and eats when he gets home). Sometimes by the time his food is ready I 've gone off to bed and the smell wakes me up..... really strong!

Like I said it kind of depends on what I'm cooking. All spices are good when on the right dish. But than again the wrong spices can ruin any dish. But if I had to choice what I use most it would be the plain old salt and pepper.
