Anise flavor ruins anything it touches.

Same with caraway. Seeded rye bread is a crime against humanity.

Cinnamon is also universally bad. Cinnamon gum, in coffee or chocolate, etc — hell food.

Ginger, yuc.

There are so many “flavors” that are just garbage that poor cultures became accustomed to. I keep busy eating things that taste good.

You sound like my Granddad. The only spice he would take in food was table salt. He wouldn't eat apple pie if it had cinnamon in it, or spaghetti if he detected oregano. If you put a dash of red pepper on his eggs, he wouldn't touch them.

He LOVED black licorice though. Go figure.

Caraway on a pork roast is awesome. I didn’t believe it would be edible until I tried it and now I can’t even think of making one if I am out of caraway.
