Spices, Seasonings and Flavors - Achieving the Desired Result

Creating a meat entree that provides a pleasant gastronomic experience is a combination of art, science and technology.  Spices and flavorings are used to achieve that experience, each contributing to the overall taste that is often unique to the region of its origin.  Spices have a very colorful history, at one time costing the lives of brave individuals who sacrifice all to bring some of the bounty home and open new routes for future commerce.  Flavorings have the ability to be tailor made and offer the unique ability to provide a taste that cannot be easily developed through normal preparation processes.
