Jazzing up food on the trail

[ateallthepies]

I saw a clip on youtube and a fella had a small herbs and spices selection in his bug out bag. It made sense to have some things to make sometimes bland food more tasty and it doesn't take much room up and would I imagine be quite a moral boost?

I bought 10 tiny glass 8ml jars from ebay and filled up 8 of them with garlic granules, Cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, mixed herbs, garam massala, barbecue seasoning and some cinnamon. The remaining 2 jars are yet to be filled as I ran out of stuff.

Anyone else do the same and carry some food enhancers?

I did use these, but they are now in my base camp set up:

What's in the squeezy bottles?

Steve.

 

[Harvestman]

Yes. I have a small tub full of tiny containers, each holding enough spices for a weekend or so. Packs pretty small.

I like your small squeezy tubes though. Might use that idea.

I do something similar.
I have one of the Highlander mess boxes (the one with the clips to hold the lid on)
Inside I keep film cannisters with spices, a tube of salt, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, stock cubes, etc.
In my emergency kit I keep a ziplock of Cous-Cous, a few stock cubes, dried onion, and a few mini pepperamis.
It fits into a crusader mug sized package and would do a couple of meals, and keeps well.

Ta, I have some 30ml flip top plastic bottles that I was gonna use for meths but will now probably fill them with some nice liquids. I like the lemon, tabasco and oil ideas.

I now use this set up:

Jalapeno hot sauce, Tabasco sauce, Veg oil, washing up liquid and cut down scourers salt and mixed herbs.

All fits inside my eagle kettle with some 3 in1 coffees and a collapsible mug.

The small liquid containers with the red lids are the ones you get in sushi:
