[QUOTE=Autumn;28303658]but it's all dried and... lacking in strength of flavour. like random said, real garlic keeps for so long, i don't understand why people wouldn't use the real stuff. especially when you put it in the crusher and all the lovely juice comes out, you just don't get that with the powder/dried.[/QUOTE]
Amen to this. I used to mince my garlic with a knife, especially with spaghetti sauce. The other night I found a garlic press and used it and holy shit it made the sauce like 20x better than I'd ever made before.
Oregano or Soy Sauce works fine for me.
Don't know why but just adding soy sauce to a lot of foods is good to me. Hell, even pizza.
I put basil on a frozen pizza, mostly because my sister refuses to eat pizza with basil on it.
More for me.
I use a lot of onions, garlic, pepper, cumin, thyme and cayenne pepper.
Also sriracha
Cumin is awesome on everything!
For multipurpose mix, this is the best:

This may sound gross but melted peanut butter + sweet soy sauce taste good on things like Japanese/Chinese flat noodles.
I use pizza rolls and dead toads on my bagels. YUM!

adobo fucking rules. one of my favorite types of seasoning to put on chicken
Lemon Pepper is fun. And weird.

And all this talk of one generic spice sounds weird to me. Just have all of the more common herbs and spices in your cupboard (Oregano, Basil, Rosemary, Coriander, Thyme, Turmeric, etc). I can see it might be easier/quicker to use, but I've never tried anything like that that tastes better than your own mix of stuff.
And if it does, I would probably be wary of the other stuff in it.
I've had a bit of an obsession with this for quite some time.

It goes incredibly well on almost all meats, and mixed in with recipes that use a lot of tomatoes is always good. It's also incredibly unhealthy because of how salty it is but well worth it in almost every case.
forever in my heart

I can't get enough of Asda Italian seasoning, for some reason.
[QUOTE=Rooster Assassin;28305709]What seasoning would go nice in olive oil to eat with some bread? I like to just dip bread in it occasionally, taste good.[/QUOTE]
Put lemon zest, garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil in a blender.
Goes excellent with bread.
I love creole on just about anything.
