Curry powder, especially on chicken. Love that shit

I've seen this before. Also seen peanut butter, and if you're into Cinci-style chili (yuck!), there's also cinnamon, allspice, and clove in addition to the cocoa.

I've also done coffee in steak rubs and pretty much anything with chocolate (especially brownies).

Chilli P.

Those all sound like stripper names.

Curry powder in chicken soup.

Arby's horsey sauce in deviled eggs.

Try the amino acids fake soy sauce. My wife likes it but I'm not a fan of any soy. Tou can get it at smiths/fred meyer.

I honestly don't know what umami is so I'll start with that. I think it just means unique flavors. And the most unique ingredients are in Asian food. I don't really know what I'm doing yet, but I've experimented with some of these ingredients you'd find interesting.

For staples, miso paste, Korean red pepper paste, dashi/bonito flakes. For spices, Chinese five-spice, Korean red pepper, anise all have really unique properties.

Lots of interesting dried ingredients at an Asian grocery store. Dried mushrooms of every kind. Dried shrimp.

Vegetables, I started putting perilla in lots of things. Gives a different bite to everything.

Finally, food substitutes. Fish sauce for salt. Sesame oil for olive oil. Kimchi for sauerkraut or relish.

Old Bay on everything.

I was just watching a show where the chef was using goldfish in his chicken parmesan.

that sounds.....

....intriguing!!!
will try it the next time I make these. thanks!!

RIP, Inmem.

Also, instead of using sugar for a marinade, try an Asian pear. A lot of Asian marinades will use that as a food substitute
