I really liked this question and answers. Anyone else want to chime in?

Salt would be a friend who no one takes too much notice of as she shows up for every party and get-together there is, but when she misses one, everyone notices. (Or he, she was just what came out of my fingers. Salt is not gender-specific.)

I don't use many spices so that's all I have.

Cayenne is your loud, hilarious, obnoxious friend, who is awesome for the first few minutes you are hanging out, but then begins to get on your nerves.

Vinegar is that friend who you never want to hang out with alone, as their ascerbic wit is too biting and too depressing alone, but in groups tends to be really funny.

Oregano is the yuppy. They claim to know everything about Europe, and are obsessed with inserting its culture into every aspect of your life/the conversation, but when you really start interrogating them, you find out they really don't know much about it.

Garlic is the brilliant guy with the dry sense of humor. Not everyone gets his sense of humor, and if you don't, you just find him annoying, but if you do, that guy is SO FUNNY.

Dill is that friend who can be fun in a lot of situations, but worries too much about what other people think, and so isn't nearly as fun as she should be, because she tones down how she acts in groups.

Terragon tells a lot of edgy jokes. He generally knows when to tone it down, but sometimes he can be offensive.

I've got a ton more. I'm sure I'll be back to this.

The Grill Mates are all your favorite dudes. Your buddies. The man-squad. You all get together once a week for billiards and sodas.

I'm cooking right now, so I have a few to add.

Basil is that amazing girl you know with really low self esteem who can't understand why everyone loves her so much and thinks they just hang out with her to be nice, when really she's pretty much the coolest person in the world and does incredible things without even trying.

Thyme is a reclusive poet that yuppy oregano goes out of his way to try to imitate. But there is no imitating thyme and oregano is just a loser.

Celery seed is the guy with the really sarcastic sense of humor that some people just don't like. He seems like a jerk to many, especially certain uptight women-folk that you know, but he's the only guy you know who would pick you up from the airport at 3 in the morning or teach your lab for you when you have the swine flu.

Cinnamon is that really hot girl in your ward who's not that smart and kind of mean that all the shallow guys want to date. She's a lot of fun at parties, but when you get her on her own she's a bit hard to take.

Cumin is your world traveler friend who's been everywhere and speaks about six different languages.
