Spices and Seasonings

[Self]

Ham seasoning? What do you put ham seasoning on?

Cajun is one my favorites for chicken and fish. Montreal comes in handy, too. Can't go wrong with salt, pepper, garlic.

We saute mushrooms on the grill with McCormick's Grill Mates Brown Sugar Bourbon and olive oil. Get the shrooms nice and carmelized. Great pre-dinner app.

I use bacon grease often.

Soups mostly. Or I'll mix it in w/ ground meat to give it a eau de bacon.

Am I allowed to talk about miso in this thread?

Fine but as soon as numbersup makes a "miso horny" joke I'm shutting it down

[Iholdthepain]

garlic, red pepper flakes, and paprika...

that is all.

I use a lot of these blends.



I can't pick a favorite off of my spice rack, b/c everything is important in one dish or another. We don't stock celery salt in my house, b/c my wife HATES celery. If I put a 1/4 teaspoon in a pot of soup, she'll know, and she'll be pissed.

i grind dried porcini mushrooms to add umami to some of my soups (especially wild rice and mushroom). it's great.

It was wild to me making Japanese food and not adding a single grain of salt because the dashi and miso are both so salt heavy. I love things that add salt and flavor at the same time instead of just adding it separately.

My kids "hate" mushrooms, and if they see them, they won't eat. This is a good way to save a dish that they would have otherwise ruined with their whininess.

people so often avoid salting their food, thinking it's bad for them.

fun fact: we get only 5% of our daily sodium intake from salt that we add to our food. the other 95% comes from the processed crap that we eat and drink.

most people who love my steaks probably wouldn't eat them if they watched me salt them an hour before cooking..same with a brisket

I would, Doug. Even after you cracked about the Ibanez and stuff.

Learning how to properly salt things is pretty much the best lesson you can learn. Garlic & onion (powder, sometimes) the next best.

one day i'll make you one and make up for that as well....

Ha...if you had a Jackson, I'd be all over your shit too.

a spice I have never owned or used but see in recipes is mace (not that mace)....i just substitute with nutmeg or pumpkin spice

Five spice powder is one of my favorites now. There's a Thai place by me that does pork belly and pickled greens in five spice broth. One of the best things I've ever eaten.
