More secret weapons

Devra's story in yesterday's Food section on chef's secret ingredients made me go into my own pantry and pull out what I like to add to a dish.

The jar in the center contains a peppercorn mix (both white and black peppercorns mixed with coriander seeds). Those are coriander seeds on the left, too, brought to me by my Greek-Cypriot friend Agni Thurner. At the bottom, the red powder is Spanish smoked paprika. To its right are Turkish maras peppers. At the top is cumin I brought back from Morocco. To its right is a poultry mix Devra brought me from Montreal. It contains coriander seeds and white peppercorns. Is there a pattern here?
