What spices & condements?

[Hellz]

Spirit of Fire mixed spices. You can get it in the supermarket in a small grinder and I grind plenty into a film canister. It contains dried chillies, sweet bell peppers, ginseng, peppadews, horseradish and black peppercorns

Adds a bit of bite. :shock:

I'm hungry...

Schwartz American Barbecue Seasoning is excellent as both the base for a marinade, as an addition to soups and stews or just on grilled meat or fish. It has a very distinct, piquant sort of smoky flavour, with a hint of tomatoey-ness and combined with tabasco is excellent. It also goes well with citrus flavours. Yum!

:-D

I carry just about everything in Nalgene containers (stems from days as a keen climber), spices, you have another vote for Cajun spice, chilli powder, black pepper, sea salt, and powdered garlic for when I can't get the real thing. Thyme and Oregano are good if you can get your hands on fresh meats. They all sit in with my cook kit.

I carry some Maggi seasoning sauce in a naglene bottle, Sort of like soy but better.

Mixed spice for bannocks and the like is useful too.

Oh don't forget the maple syrup for bacon too.

I use a pill box for my spices. You know, the ones with monday, tuesday, wednesday ets on them. You get them in the chemists for around 99p. I have chili powder, dried garlic, salt, pepper, dried ginger, all spice and curry powder in them.
The box looks something similar to this...

Not quite seasoning, but at least something to add to food! I rarely go without a small piece of Parmassan cheese. I take a small grater (IKEA in packs of 3) and add the cheese to pastas, stews etc. I also found a very small pepper grinder as I love freshly ground pepper on things.

What happens with this?

Is it like kippers and marmalade or do you cook the bacon in the syrup?

 

[Wayland]

I just add a little maple syrup to the bacon once it's cooked, terrific combination.

Of course it's also useful for pancakes and stuff like that too but real maple syrup on bacon is great.

I use apart from salt, pepper, sugar (cubes), this:

My favorite and kept in a film pot is 'Marigold' Swiss vegetable bouillon powder. It makes soup and adds flavour to the pot and is good sprinkled on bread and butter.
Swyn.

 

[spamel]

I use simple stuff, salt, pepper, oxo and tabaco. I have some cayenne that I may mix in aswell.

I didn't realise that Maggi was available in UK, my missus uses it in her fantastic grun kohl (stewed cabbage with boiled spuds and spicy german sausages,mmmmmmm!) so it is good to know she can get it when we move back this year coming.

 

[Wayland]

Maggi can be hard to find but Morrisons stock it in small bottles but I get the big catering bottles from Wing Yip.

They also do powdered drinks a bit like the army ration stuff.

 

[dwardo]

cheers, and.

I carry this too It's good stuff.
I also carry a little tub with a mixture of spice seeds in it. They're pretty easy to pickout and just crush up as and when needed (knife butt and a stone works fine) My mixture holds mustard seeds, peppercorns( I like the pink ones), celery seed, fennel, cardamom, coriander, love in a mist, sweet cicely, cumin and a nutmeg. A little bit of dried ginger, cinnamon stick, and vanilla pod go in too. I had expected the tastes to be all muddled but it works surprisingly well; it's as though it needs heat to really release the flavours.

Cheers,
Toddy

 

[fred gordon]

Yes, the Marigold is great stuff. We use it in the house all the time and |I wouldn't leave home without it. With hot water it also makes a passable savoury drink.

 

[Culicoidis]

I use apart from salt, pepper, sugar (cubes), this:

You can get the Knorr aromat at tescos, 90g in a stong metal container. Excellent with meat, fish or veg, either during cooking or afterwards as a seasoning.
Along with that I usually carry stock cubes, chilli powder and good old fashioned English Mustard powder (though colmans now do a squeezy tube of the stuff). I carry them in plastic screw cap sample pots. Also a good quantity of salt n pepper 70/30 mix.

 

[Graham_S]

i carry salt, pepper, mixed herbs, chilli flakes, garam masala, worcester sauce, garlic paste, tomato paste, and beef, chicken, ham, and veg stock cubes.
it all fits into one of the small "really useful box company" boxes

This I got to try.

Have you tried kippers with marmalade - proper marmalade that is?
