Spices you don't like...

I don't do cumin at all it's too strong and gives me mad hart burn. When I make my rubs and want to use chili powder I use blomers chili powder because it is not cumin based but it does have a little in it. Bay leaves is another one for me ! It smells like a garbage dump and taste just as bad. next time something calls for cumin try some ground sage it is my secret ingredint that no knows what it is but more times then not they tell me the best thing about my rubs and BB Q sause is its not loaded with cumin.

whole cloves

I stay away from any recipe that contains it.  Won't even pickle with them.

I'm surprised with all the cumin-hating going on here. Not being critical of anyone, it's just that I thought everyone found it as mouth-watering on pork as I do.

Before I understood its roll I was a hater... I totally get how it "disappears" when used correctly and what it adds!!!

Do you use equal part of sage as cumin?
