Last year, I posted a poll for people to list their top 10 favorite ingredients. Knowing that tastes can change over time, I am going to list my 10 and compare to the list I made last year to see if there are any differences. They weren't in any particular order.
1. Garlic
2. Olive Oil
3. Salt: kosher and sea
4. Lime juice or zest
5. Balsamic vinegar
6. Piquin chiles (tiny, very hot dried chiles)
7. Parmesan cheese
8. Onions
9. Sugar
10.Chocolate
I just checked my old list, and three items didn't make it this time but ARE still favorites: coffee, cilantro and butter. How could I forget butter? I also checked my pantry...I have six varieties of salt! Oh man. And I have 10 kinds of vinegar.

In no particular order...
1) extra virgin olive oil
2) garlic
3) onions (can I include shallots & green onions?)
4) vinegar (mostly balsamic, rice wine & red wine)
5) butter
6) chocolate
7) ginger
8) soy sauce
9) kosher salt
10) black pepper
My list is pretty much the same except no hot chiles. I'd have cream and wine on my list. Vanilla instead of chocolate. And not just any old vanilla, but Nielsen Massey Madagascar vanilla. :)
Love the list! Can we make it the top 20??? Ha-ha! I would add lemons, ginger, sweet red pepper, and chicken stock, oh yeah, and sour cream...but I don't know what I would take away. LOL
