Hi, group!

First, let me ask: is there an FAQ for this group, and where can I find it?

Second, I have a question about spices.

I like oatmeal with raisins and spice, though I'll frequently add more
raisins to the dish when making it. Now, I'd like to make my own version of
that at home, but all the ingredient lists of the commercially-prepared
products simply say "spices," and do not elaborate. Question is, what
spice(s) are used in these preparations? While it's likely each brand has
its own blend, I'd at least like a starting point so I know which spices to
get.

TIA for your help.
