What spices & condements?

[Tadpole]

When camping I carry a jar of Bovril, small sweet tins filled with salt, pepper, vinegar, English mustard, (borrowed from fast food places).
Vegetable Knorr cubes, garlic, bisto gravy browning, not the granules, but proper bisto, Australian bush pesto mix (from Oil and Vinegar) fantastic stuff great with just about everything, (mix a bit with hot water, leave for a few minutes then add olive oil. It does just about anything from making cheese on toast something special to adding a bit of zing to foraged herbs, I’ve not found anything savoury that you can’t use it on …yet)
shredded suet and flour, cooking oil and olive oils.
and anything else I can find to fill up my pack
kitchen sink anyone

Little tip if you do love your herbs and spices: those seven day pill boxes are ideal for storing a tasty selection. Make sure you get a decent quality one with good tight seals on the lids though - the cheapo pound shop ones are prone to leaking powder out the edges.

Nalgene containers. The travel kits are really useful.

Have finally managed to get rid of my coarse grind pepper mill. You can buy coarse ground pepper in Sainisburys.

Also take a Netto Jalfrezi curry mix, which is slowly running out! It has a nice curry taste but sweeter overtones. It was an offer so they do not have it all the time.

Take golden syrup instead of sugar.

Also carry lots of different herbs, esp Mint (To make sure I have it).

Extra Virgin Olive oil for all oily needs.

I have eight or so little bottles and carry..

Olive oil, soy sauce, sesame sead oil, little tub of maldon sea salt, coarse black pepper, little bottle of maple syrup, few stock cubes and some bovril, also a few mixed herbs.

Makes the world of difference when cooking up!


I got about 8 bottles/box of various small sizes from cotswolds, cost me £6 I think, usefull for all sorts of things.

Got used to just drinking Ovaltine with sugar & hot water to avoid the milk issue.

Lemon juice is good just to put flavour up drinking water. And handly comes in plastic squeezy lemon.

These rock. Not just good with meat but noodles and vegetables too. I have the Jamaican Jerk . Available Sainsburys, Tesco etc.

Quite good size. Metal tin is okay quality to use for other things after you have finished the contents too

Thats what I carry with me. It comes with a key-fob and is smaller than a walnut and makes everything edible.

That looks useful...what sort of quantity do you get of each ingredient ???

Depends on the type of camping, my condements range from a few zip lock bags with herbs to a big tupperware box with the full range of nice things. Squeeze tubes are great for things like butter spread, jam, honey etc, I love tubes of sweetened condensed milk, and I now prefer curry paste to powder

If anyone needs one of these and cant find them, let me know. I have them in the shop.
