Basically what the name says, we humans seem to be able to make lists out of everything so why not food. Get ready for the most pointless list ever. What are your favorite herbs and spices? For my list I didn't count onion, shallots and scallions as spices/herbs, but I did include garlic and ginger. I know it's a bit of a gray area, but you have to draw a line somewhere. Also I didn't include any version of salt since it's not technically a spice. I'm happy to report that assembling this list took me 1 hour that I probably could've spent on more useful things, but now that I have it I needed to post it. I guess this is my Dutch heritage showing, but unlike many other people I love licorice so imo star anise is probably the best smell in the whole world, but I know there are others who absolutely can't stand it.
1. Cumin 2. Garlic 3. Cinnamon 4. Star anise 5. Basil 6. Thyme 7. Ginger 8. Vanilla 9. Oregano 10. Saffron 11. Rosemary 12. Cacao 13. Tumeric 14. Red chili flakes 15. Cilantro 16. Lavender 17. White pepper 18. Smoked paprika 19. Parsley 20. Dill HM: nutmeg, lemongrass, black pepper, capers, mint, cloves And if we do want to go for all seasonings then shout outs to mole negro, salt, all types of onions (onion is S+ tier), chile de arbol, black bean paste, garam masala & soy sauce.

With the exception of cilantro, I think that's a great list! I'm one of those people who tastes bar soap, in cilantro.

I have that 'anti-cilantro' thing too.
If you do a search, indeed some people taste cilantro in a terrible way.
I'm one of those.
But the rest of your list is great kevin.
Cumin is my go to!!
