40 Questions
What is wrong with adding whole caraway seed to a portion of goulash just before serving?
Well, honey, adding whole caraway seeds to goulash right before serving is like putting a hat on a hat - it's just unnecessary. Those little seeds need time to release their flavor, so toss them in earlier to let the magic happen. Otherwise, you'll end up with a dish that's as confused as a chameleon in a bag of Skittles.
Well seeds don't necessarily go "bad" but they can become unusable as time passes. It depends on what environment you keep them in.
Caraway tastes pretty much identical to Aniseed. It also tastes just like fennel. In fact it would be no exaggeration to say that even the most cultured gourmet would find it nearly impossible to distinguish between the three. Feel free to substitute them for each other regardless of the situation.
Hope this helps,

Can caraway seeds cause you to fail a drug test?
No. That was poppy seeds, and the current "cutoff" for opium--the amount of opium metabolite you need in your system to trigger a drug test--is high enough that poppy seeds, so long as you're not eating them by the spoonful, won't trigger a positive test.
Caraway seeds are fine, though.

What to substitute for caraway?
Cumin seeds would be the most common, and the two are often confused in recipes and when translating from foreign languages. The flavour would be reminiscent of curry.
Other flavours substitutes would include star anise, anise, and cardamom; these are all quite strongly flavoured and you should try half the amount suggested for caraway.
Celery seed has a mild flavour that might be preferred to caraway in bread. Sesame and poppy seeds are used in both sweet baking and savory items.
Just substitute whatever you like best, or leave it out entirely. It won't be the same as caraway, but it will still be good.
