A few people teased me for bringing small baggies of spices with me to Italy. Interestingly, there has been a spice (mustard seeds) that I didn't bring with me and that the local supermarket doesn't have. Many of the spices I brought I used commonly (whole cumin, fennel), but I also brought fenugreek leaves.
My movitation was thus: one day I will be hungry and not know what to cook, but I will have fenugreek leaves. I will look up a recipe that uses fenugreek and I will make it.
That day was two days ago. My fenugreek leaves are gone and I made a very tasty Indian bean dish. Of course, the fenugreek leaves (purchased at an Indian market in Georgia) and other seasonings were the only legitimate "Indian" part of it. I used canellini beans and an Italian type of flatbread (piadina).
