I use onion now more as a spice (rather than a vegetable) putting small amounts into things, almost like people would use garlic. Alternatively I use garlic, but half the amount as before going "bland".
Occasionally cilantro tastes very good.
On the topic of vinegars, I've come to really like (haha, it's another one of those things that most health nuts head would explode) using white vinegar to make things like pickles. So much brighter and colder and clearer tasting than apple cider vinegar. I've read online that gourmands recognize this propensity of white vinegar. It gets out of the way of the taste of the food.
Cool idea about the spicy oil!

I think I will put some of the seeds of the hot peppers in olive oil. I think I have some outside that are now frost bitten.

White vinegar is top! Forbidden in some countries though, because it is used to do bad things. Don't ask me what!
When making spicy olive oil you need very few chilly seeds, and a cork with a spout that delivers VERY little oil at the time. :

I have used black pepper extensively and even supplemented piperine during the 2nd year of covid. In the back of my head I always knew I needed to actually research it, I knew it had strong effects on liver metabolism.
It actually impairs this (linked) process, which is key in retinol detox (and the detox of many other important things).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucuronidation
I've all but cut it out of my diet.
Searched for a moment and found a study about it raising serum beta carotene levels.
Still new to this topic so there might be a much more accurate way of summarizing this issue.
