My favourite are: Curry, mix of peppers (black, pink, white, green); mix of
spices for cous cous; tuscany herbs, provence herbs, mexican mix of hot
chili peppers, curcuma and mushrooms and herbs powder.

And you?
Cheers

I just counted 31. But I don't use half of them very often at all.
I use whole peppercorns, basil, oregano, cumin, thyme, rosemary and
paprika the most.

peppercorns are the whole dried berries of the pepper plant (I'm not
sure of the scientific name). ground black pepper or "chopped", i'm
guessing, are those peppercorns dried up.

I never counted. Wait just a minute.....

[shuffle, shuffle, rummage, rummage]

****, I lost count, but I estimate my total to be about 50, too.

I keep them in clusters approximately arranged by ethnic/national
cuisines. I.e., Euro-herbs like thyme, bay, dill, etc. are in one
group; Spanish/Mexican spices like smoked hot paprika, cumin, Mexican
oregano, dried chiles, etc. are in another; and Indian/Asian blends
and spices like ginger, garam masala, curry powders, etc. are in a
third. Then there are the various odd ones like a tin of powdered
wasabi and a big pack of herbs de Provence that get clustered in
another place because they physically don't fit the appropriate
shelves.

Not to mention the frozen flavorings like several packs of basil I
have in the freezer.

http://www.velvet-c.com/images/spice1.jpg
http://www.velvet-c.com/images/spice2.jpg
http://www.velvet-c.com/images/spice3.jpg

No. Peppercorns are what you grind to get ground pepper :)

Are we talking spices, herbs, combinations, variations of the same thing, bottle
sauces etc.?
I counted close to 50 jars and bottles, but there were some duplicates, like
four different types of curry powders, allspice and ground allspice, ground
cinnamon, cinnamon sticks and cinnamon sugar, fresh mushroom, canned mushrooms
and Chinese dried mushrooms, chicken, beef and vegetable stock cubes and cans
and boxes of broths. Then there are the various oils, vinegar, red wine
vinegar, white vinegar, brining vinegar, rice wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar
etc. Then there are the hot sauces, at least a dozen of those. Mustard.... dry
powdered, hot mustard, Dijon, prepared etc. Soy Sauce, light soy sauce,
Teriyaki.....

Mhhh! I keep them separated too! I have also a mix of "american spices";
I miss "Garam Masala" ! Do you buy it or you make it by yourself?


Then there are the various odd ones like a tin of powdered

I miss this too! It is very odd a dried wasabi! I thought it was a creme!

I must build anoter shelf too! They are likely to be too much!

Careful. As soon as Sheldon sees this thread he'll be screaming
that herbs are not spices.

I don't know how many I have, but I have *everything* judging by
the sheer volume of them.

My favorite spice (actually it is a mixture of spices) is Old Bay
Seasoning. Since I've given up red meat I use it all the time with
fish and poultry.

mushrooms.

I have (and throw out to replace each year or two) over 50 bottles,
bags or containers of spices and seasonings, plus I grow several like
parsley, rosemary, basil, sage, thyme, scallions, etc.. Among the
dried spices/seasonings, I use most the various peppercorns, garlic,
flavored peppers, citrus peels, Penzeys Bavarian and Italian blends,
garlic, toasted onion bits and baking spices/extracts most often. What
a difference for just the right, more exotic flavor seasonings and
spices can make in otherwise ordinary cooking!

<lol> I know that feeling...

I'm on the lookout for a lazy suzan that will fit inside the cabinet
where I keep my herbs and spices.

I also maintain a small live herb garden.
