One of the things I was taught, late in life (because my mom stopped
having time to teach me to cook after I was about 13), was that a
*small*, i.e. _spice_, quantity of sugar or salt can fix a flavor blend
that isn't meshing, because both are flavor intensifiers. I still do
this, and find that the spices of sugar and salt are definitely among
those that can improve a spice blend.
