50 People Guess 6 Spices | Epicurious

"Oh yeah that's cayenne yellow." "Yep I was right, cayenne white." Clearly this man is a level 3 chef.

I stand behind the Indian Lady who could not identify Curry powder as a spice, because IT ISN'T ONE! Its a spice blend! Every household in India has a different blend. Some don't even create a blend, they keep individual spices and blend them fresh as per the requirement of the dish being prepared. SO don't worry, lady, you are good! You were not supposed to identify that one.

"Usually the craziest spice I'd go for is like....salt"

Of course the Indian lady didn’t identify the curry powder. Indians don’t tend to use curry powder because we use the spices in different proportions for different curries and don’t use the same blend of powder for every dish.

“The craziest spice I’ll go for is... salt”


I’ll bet it is, Chad.

4:13 "whichever stains my hands more is gonna be the curry"

[Cloud.Strife]

Cayenne yellow. Cayenne brown. Cayenne red
**Points at salt & pepper**
"What about these ones?"
Cayenne white. Cayenne black

The white guy at 0:21 is not helping the stereotype 😂😂😂

Curry powder doesn't count. I was already thinking why there was turmeric 2 times.
curry isn't a spice, curry is a spice blend.

[ryotaarai]

Kfc should be hiring the noobs. They will never guess the secret spices even if they had to mix it with the chicken every day. 😂

[ruvin]

2:57 No that's Cheesecake Powder...

[Baurax]

Not really a surprise to me that the Indian-looking woman didn't figure out the curry powder since it's basically a British invention.

[tom_something]

1:05 - Yes, cumin totally does smell like body odor. But in a necessary way.

[halcyon]

*smells garlic powder * “salt?”
Girl HUH

[cheyenneoliver]

Oregano and sage are herbs not spices! Herbs are leaves and stems; spices are every other part of the plant!

[TheGoldenwolf]

"The craziest spice that ill go for is like salt"


Sounds about white

[mcdrums]

“Usually the craziest spice I’ll go for is salt.”

Well since salt isn’t a spice...I believe you!

[johnwaldt]

garlic powder: "I like to put it on my pizza". Sadness spreads all over italy

[clumsyclub]
