For those who are as ignorant as I: Quatre Épices is a spice blend used mainly in French cooking, but also found in the Middle Eastern kitchen. The name literally means "four spices"; the spice mix contains roughly equal parts of ground pepper (white, black, or both), cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Some variations of the mix use allspice instead of pepper, or cinnamon in place of ginger. --Wikipedia.org
