Definition of Spice: an aromatic or pungent vegetable substance used to flavour food.

You are on a desert island which provides you with a supply of vegetables and fruit [and there is a supply of fresh water. You have salt, pepper, and garlic and onions/shalots. Admittedly, in culinary terms, you are in for a boring time. Nevertheless...

You can have just ONE spice.

What would it be?

With "curry", I think you are cheating but I cannot say exactly how.

Curry leaves are when they are ground down.

I'm not sure they amount to much in the way of flavour on their own. I think "a curry" involves a blend of numerous spices.
