request for food advice: spices 

on last inventory, we had in our spice cupboard:

- cayenne
- black pepper
- powdered ginger
- garlic powder
- celery seed
- ground cumin
- ground paprika
- bay leaves
- ground cinnamon
- onion powder
- mustard powder
- dried oregano

and old bottles of
- allspice
- cardamom pods
- cloves, and
- sesame seeds

also a thing of Old Bay Seasoning for some reason

What are good uses for those last five, and, if y'all have suggestions for new spices, for those?

@packbat Allspice is pretty good in just about any situation you'd use cinnamon, like applesauce or oatmeal or something... never tried it in chili though, now i wonder how that'd be

@packbat oh yeah and cardamom pods are very common in Indian cooking, I believe? we've seen a number of recipes for curries and such that start with toasting cardamom pods and sesame seeds and anise and stuff
