Ingredients that "make" a dish
I think dried oregano is what "makes" a pizza. Without it it's ok but with it pizza is great.
What other ingredients do you feel "make" a dish special?

A good vinegar makes a green sallad. Eating a lot of those so it's the first thing that springs to mind.

Just a little red wine in pasta sauce changes the flavour completely

High quality cheeses are wonderful and make a lot of difference in a dish. It's true for me too of any good dairy product - quality milk, cream, butter and of course, eggs that are organic and very fresh. The first time I cooked with farm fresh eggs myself, as opposed to the typical pale version we get in grocery stores, I was so surprised at the difference in flavor and color.
