a "seasoning" is another term for a "spice". a more literal definition
would be "that which is spicy", which does not include garlic. this is why
people often include statements like "herbs and spices", so simple people
are not confused by the inclusion of non-spicy spices.
now please post your remaining drivel elsewhere. this list doesn't care.
