Garlic and/or Shallots and/or Chives
Different kinds of onion (green, white, yellow, red)
Horseradish
Tabasco
Cayenne
Basil, Sage, Marjoram, Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano, etc.
Cilantro
Beer (dark and flavorful)
Booze (like whiskey, not like Sloe Gin)

Ginger
Honey

Answer 3

Cayenne pepper...start with just a dash and taste it as you season it to make sure you don't add too much.

I like to add a can of diced green chilies or jalapeno peppers...yummy!

Answer 4

Not all at once, but --

various hot peppers
mustard
chives
garlic
wine
onion
nutmeg
soy sauce
different cheeses
chilies
never tried it, but -- bacon?
mushrooms (particulary good with garlic)

salsa

And stick to butter over oil or margarine, and flour over cornstarch. Trust me.
