Hey, I like fennel seed in a tomato sauce. Adds a flavor note to the complex.

I also sometimes toss in a weensy handful of raisins. They hold onto their own flavor rather than suffusing anything into the sauce, so you're eating along on spaghetti sauce until you hit a raisin and suddenly here's a sweet note for just this mouthful. Quite nice.

UT, I'm sad for you though: no cumin = no chili. It just ain't chili without its cumin. Just a sort of insipid meat stew.
