Add some Balkan savory in that. Trust me!

This is a step up for me.

So do I ...

Instead of sugar I prefer dried tomato's. The most important are Oregano, Basil and Garlic the others add more and more harmony but these 3 are the main show.
mbzlr
I would prefer a different ratio between oregano, thyme and basil (definitely more basil for me).

I can assure you that Italians don't use "table spoon" or "cup" as units of measurement
cabbageisdelicious
Sounds good, but there's no way I'm putting that much salt in there. Easy peasy no worry fix, but man, some people eat a lot of salt lol. It's not the enemy (no food is, salt is important), but sometimes it just hits me.

I make my own taco and fajita seasonings. No salt in either.

I'm Italian and what is that
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
A more or less standardized blend of dried herbs and spices used for many 1950s style Italian-American recipes that likely originated with Italian immigrants to America. They even sell breadcrumbs mixed with it for breading and frying things like cheese sticks. See also: Italian dressing.

I find it funny to learn how foreigners believe we put oregano everywhere when it's more of a regional thing. Plus, too many flavours together and sugar?
Masterleftspud
Does the Italian get mad when you put it on them?
benderfreak
Don't worry, the Italian is mad before you put it on anyway.
wazeewa
My gf uses a similar thing for her vinagrettes too

I would advice to not include salt. Better to add salt separately so it's more versatile and so that you can more easily control the amount.
Seanspeed
Probably a good idea, yea.
BossVarriack
I agree. The salt would be better separate

Thanks!
cyno01
I obviously use a lot of this.
OregonComputerGuy
How do the Italians feel about you going about seasoning them?
KillTimeAndLife
I would assume salty?

nerad137
another good one is equal parts salt, pepper, paprika, and sugar. Goes great on homemade potato chips.
Lepercake
How much is 1/4 cup @UnitConversionBot
VCJunky
Those are extremely healthy herbs. You are wrong if you think you are using it too much. Most people are using it too little.
SamFisher88
I'm italian and I'd say we tend to use just one each time, not all the seasoning herbs mixed together.. we love to taste EACH ingredient !

Ariosto (the spice mix, not the poet) is good, tho.

Thank you I went slow with it

How is it on ice cream?
necessity
Not quite as good as tabasco.
jbrightmans
I put it on watermelon along with a little mustard.

There are literally worse things to put on ice cream...

Cold.

A better Italian topping for vanilla ice cream is balsamic vinegar
FetaForMoses
It’s better in gelato

*ICE CREAM?!* sheesh.

Sugar???
Ohnolookwho
One of the tastiest sausage spice mixes I've made uses sugar, and it makes so much difference. I've started using it for burgers and taco meat because it's just that good. It also doesn't replace caramelized vegetables and still works well alongside them.
WackyTicTacCasualty
Counters the acidity of tomatoes.
LordAndSaviourBirdJesus
I can forgive the sugar, I can even forgive the fucking celery salt.. but NO fennel?
Seanspeed
Fennel is great, but more situational. I can understand leaving it out of a more 'all purpose' seasoning like this.
abion47
This isn't "all-purpose" seasoning. It's Italian seasoning. And any Italian seasoning worth making from scratch should have fennel. Otherwise, just go buy the white-washed McCormic spice blend.
donorkort
You don't get to be the most obese OECD country without a little effort. 🤠
PolyTheWicked
You think America’s bad, you should see South Korea. They put sugar in and on *everything*.
donorkort
Possibly, but there are some pretty distinct points between the two:
abion47
There's a difference between adding a bit of sugar and drowning it in high fructose corn syrup.
donorkort
OP literally posted the recipe, and it's over 10% sugar.
abion47
And how much of the seasoning would you generally use for one plate of pasta? A tablespoon or less? That comes out to roughly a gram of sugar for a whole plate of pasta, even with American portion sizes. It only looks like a lot of sugar when taken out of context of how it will actually be used.
donorkort
It's the whole concept of adding (entirely too much) sugar to everything that I'm talking about. I'm not implying that America hit that 43% obesity rate with OP's seasoning recipe.
KillTimeAndLife
Trust it is needed. Just like salt in chocolate chip cookies
TheyreIllusionsMichael
People who don't cook much are always stunned to find out their favorite salty foods have sugar in them for balance
yamamasyamaha
What do you use this for? Additive to sauce or a sprinkle on top tbing
KillTimeAndLife
Take tiny waxy potatoes in foil. Add butter and this season. Shake and bake at 400 for 25min
