were the people writing wikipedia articles in 2004 just completely retarded? in which world could someone think that to be true?
>>
I'm just gonna say it.

Cardamom sucks. It makes anything taste like menthol cigarettes.
>>
>>22084537
Your tongue is broken.
>>22084526
Well, what other spices are more expensive than cardamom? Cuz it's definitely the third most expensive as far as I can tell.
>>
>>22084526
it is true in our world

>>22084541
>Well, what other spices are more expensive than cardamom?
we all know saffron is #1
>>
>>22084541
nutmeg/mace, tarragon, various mushroom powders
>>
>>22084526
It's #4 now. Asafoetida prices have skyrocketed since 2004.

>>22084541
Saffron, asafoetida, and vanilla.
>>
chinese businessmen pay hundreds of dollars for rare ginseng roots because they think it makes their tiny pp's bigger, but I don't know if that counts as a spice or not.

>nutmeg
$37.50/lb, retail, for whole, wild harvested
>mace
$34/lb, for whole blades, wild harvested
>tarragon
Is an herb and is ridiculously cheap, $15/lb fresh retail, $40/lb dry retail
>mushroom powders
Chaga is $31/lb, lion's mane and turkey tail are $38.50, reishi is $33.50, all wild harvested
>>22084553
>asafoetida
Yup! Just barely, though. $61/lb compared to cardamom pods being $60/lb. Good catch!

indian spices forded 1 mirron times.

>>22084526
Cardmom chai tea is absolutely great and i love it
You guys should try it
>>
>>22084553
>Asafoetida
Does anyone except the Indians actually use this? Isn't it very pungent? "Devil's dung"
>>
>>22084627
It's allegedly in the secret recipe for pic related. But yeah it's mostly used by Indians.
>>
>>22084627
I use it and I'm white. It's very pungent and can stink up a whole pantry so I keep it separate to other foods.
The pungency disappears when you cook with it and it develops a nice onion and garlic kind of flavour.
It is very helpful with digestion of beans and lentils, which I do eat a lot of. If you get gassy after eating these things maybe give it a shot
>>
>>22084627
It's a standard ingredient in vadouvan and perfumes.
>>
>>22084637
>UK BBQ sauce
i like it but i don't get they needed a smelly indian spice. the bros were trying to copy the flavour of soya sauce with "local" ingredients in england when they invented this shit.
>>
>>22084715
>>22084618
go be retarded elsewhere
>>
>>22084715
>the bros were trying to copy the flavour of soya sauce with "local" ingredients in england
They weren't trying to copy soy sauce. It doesn't taste like that and if they wanted a basic soy sauce they could've used fish or mushrooms which they had already been doing. Supposedly it was a fish and tamarind sauce from south Asia they were trying to recreate.
>>
>>22084715
>BBQ sauce
its not.
>>22084917
its garum with onions and spices
>>
>>22084961
It’s nothing like garum, dipshit.

Have you even tried worcestershire sauce at least once in your life?
>>
>>22085120

its cardaMAM
>>
>>22085120
that's what the history of the sauce bros told me. i ate 3 worcestershire sauces. including UK LnP's
>>
>>22084917
according to le history of LnP, apparently they didn't even have fish sauce to start with. they fermented some fish and started adding spices to it. weird since vikings supposedly used fish sauce(similar to the super salty asian fish sauce) for ages even before they took over York.
>>
>>22084579
he's actually very smart
>Market rates for premium Iranian saffron often fall between USD 600 and 1,000 per pound
