Top 10 Spices

Last nite over dinner, the husb and I compared our top 10 favorite spices. Here's mine (sort of in order):
1. Garlic

2. Cinnamon
3. Salt
4. Vanilla
5. Sesame Oil (not exactly a spice, I s'pose)
6. Fresh Sage
7. Fresh Basil
8. Fresh Oregano
9. Tarragon
10. Ginger

At first, it seems kind of pedestrian, but it's interesting how international many of these are as ingredients. I certainly couldn't cook without the first 4 and would be depressed if I didn't have access to the last 6.

How about you?
