Second favorite is probably coriander.

Resin of a certain tree or plant that smells godawful (so bad, in fact, that prisoners were collared with asafoetida chokers) but tastes of garlic and/or onion. It is used heavily in Jain and ISKCon cooking because Jainism forbids consumption of alleum.

not if you buy it dried in its whole form,or buy it fresh turmeric from an Indian grocery

amazing colour and pungent,astringent earthiness which can play as back drop for many other spices or herbs.

dill and turmeric on fish is lovely

Mix it in minced meat. Bake that.
Put that on 'fresh' ciabatta with whatever you feel like.
