How Many Seasonings Are In Your Kitchen?

Less than 10 altogether. Maybe 6 or 8, in total.

About half are for cooking and foods, and the others for baking.

I narrowed down, a lot, some years ago, and glad I did.
Lots of other types of clutter I still wish I could get sorted and discard some, but seasonings, I have just my most usuals and basic, and a few for a rare use, but might still be used.

So proud of myself! :ROFLMAO:

Some things are so much easier for me to down-size , than other types of items!
 
I've also cut back over the years but I still have probably two dozen different spices, extracts, sauces, etc...

I use a few on a regular basis and replace them as needed but with some of the others if I run out I don't bother to replace them.

This is one sauce that deserves a spot in every kitchen!

A whole bunch. We have all the basic spices and seasonings, then we have all the spice combinations/exotic foods seasonings/special sauces that my husband buys every time we go grocery shopping. He doesn't cook very often, but he likes to try new things. He like large, economy sizes~to save money, ya know.
One time he was driving home from Louisiana during crawfish season. His buddy bought a 50 pound sack of live crawdads, so he bought one, too. He drove up with that huge, wiggling, burlap bag. It was mesmerizing! We put them in small coolers. When checking to make sure there was enough water, one was tipped over and some had escaped to the creek.
We called everyone on the phone, that we knew and told them to come hungry the next day. We put out tables with newspaper spread on them, added drinks and side dishes. He boiled the crawfish in an old iron kettle over a fire outdoors. About 50-60 people came and ate and left. Then some more did the same, until it was all gone. What a crazy day! We still have leftover cajun crab/shrimp seasoning.
I asked him to never buy that many live crawfish at one time again. He laughed and said,"But it was so much fun!"
 
Too many to count. Dave likes to cook, and the more exotic the ingredients, the better he likes it. How many people do you know that have freakin' fenugreek?!? Well, we do. I have no idea what it is, or does, or whatever. I have to say, I enjoy the results 99% of the time, so if he wants some weird spice, why not?
