Ethnographic sources in both countries were compared in order to find traditionally used wild growing spices. In Poland 14 species were found, in Slovakia around 11. In both countries few and similar species were used (e.g. Armoracia rusticana, Carum carvi, Mentha). Some species had already ceased to be added to dishes at the beginning of the twentieth century, e.g. Glechoma hederacea. The scarce use of spices in Poland and Slovakia may be attributed to the general avoidance of wild green leaves (apart from in famine times) and aromatic plants in the cuisine of both countries, a phenomenon, which can be classified as herbophobia.
