Hello hello! So I'm trying to broaden my culinary horizon right now, things have gotten a bit stale since I have a mild case of ARFID and tend to fall back on safe foods (protein bars, fruit pureΓ©s, burritos) when I don't keep an eye on my diet. Ideally I'm looking for something that's healthy and reqires little prep. And it should be obtainable in Germany. But if the title speaks to you in any other way I'm interested to hear your thoughts anyway.

Spices! Smoked paprika, curry sauce and spices, turmeric, southwest seasoning, garlic everything!

    Rule of thumb: whatever amount of a spice a recipe calls for, double it.

    I did that once with bay leaves, that soup was...so mildly off.

    I have absolutely no idea what difference bay leaves make. I keep putting them in things, mainly due to blind allegiance to the recipe, but if you put a gun to my head and demanded that I describe the taste you'd just have to shoot me 'cause I wouldn't be able to it.

    (The fact that the leaves are too tough to eat by themselves to understand their flavor doesn't help either. Maybe I should try grinding one into a fine powder or something.)

    In normal amounts, they add a sort of pleasing background note. They mostly help other seasonings feel more rounded.

    When placing a bunch in, it tastes...off. Bad? Strong in a bad way. Overwhelming other tastes.
