Different dishes require different seasoning. Seasonings for lamb will
usually not go so well with fish and maybe not with pork, beef, chicken
or vegetables. If you put a mixture in your pepper mill, what are you
going to do if you need pepper only, or another mixture? You have
multiple mills? Then why not put each spice in a separate one and
season each dish individually? Or, better yet, use a spice grinder, as
pepper mills are not suitable for a lot of spices (especially if the
mechanism is metal and the spices in question tend to collect humidity).
Using a certain mixture for everything brings everything to the lowest
common denominator.
