IS GARLIC A SPICE? MOST PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO SAY IT'S NOT. SOME PEOPLE SAY IT IS. WHAT DOES THE IDM LIST THINK ABOUT IT? HERE'S SOME FACTS TO BASE YOUR RESPONSES ON: 1) NEITHER DICTIONARY.COM NOR BRITTANICA REFER TO GARLIC AS A SPICE, BUT RATHER AS A "SEASONING" OR "CULINARY HERB". 2) A SPICE, BY DEFINITION, IS: "a. Any of various pungent, aromatic plant substances, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, used to flavor foods or beverages." "b. Something that adds zest or flavor." SO WHICH IS IT? SPICE OR NOT SPICE? MY VOTE IS FOR "NOT A SPICE". AND I'M TIRED OF GARLIC RIPPING OFF AUTECHRE'S STYLE.

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. cheers, /derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
