There is actually little difference between a "spice" and an "aromatic",
except that those "aromatics" which come from "exotic" lands (and are usually
imported) are commonly considered "spices". Does this mean that, if you live
in a region which grows pepper, and therefore don't need to import it, it's
no longer a "spice"? I don't know...ask Mr. Owl.
