[CH] testbed for new spices?

I just received a big batch of spices from Penzeys, most of which I've 
never had before.  I'd like to try them all out, to get a feel for what
they taste like.  Anybody got any recommendations for a neutral base
that's easy to cook?  

I don't want to do something heavy like burgers, because I've got 22 
difference spices to try!  I'm thinking something like canned chick 
peas - just warm up a can, and do a few tablespoons of chick pea with 
each spice.  But are there any other ways of taste-testing spices 
without making a meal out of them?

thanks!
