Hey /ck/. What are some "must have" spices and seasonings?
Salt and garlic
What is salt and pepper for 200, Alex?
Just the stuff you see popping up again and again in recipes. Mostly garlic, onion, thyme, oregano, basil, parsley, cinnamon, paprika, chili/pepper flakes
>>7644374
Depends on what you're cooking. If you cook a lot of Indian food then fenugreek is a must have but if you never cook Indian food, you'll never use it. Same for just about anything that isn't salt/pepper/garlic/onion.
>>7644374

>fenugreek is a must have
>not mustard jeera or chili powder
wat. methi itself is common in north india sure but the seed is far from 'must have', besides being essential for a few dishes.
I think cardamom is severely underrated. It's got a great floral, almost citrusy flavor.
It all depends on what you like to eat, you blathering nincompoop.
>>7644374
Ginger
Tumeric
Cayenne
Black pepper
How many can you identify, /ck/?
Salt, pepper, garlic, and cinnamon will cover most things I eat, but I'm also a plebeian
>>7645223
I see caraway, sesame, poppy seed, paprika, hot pepper flakes, dried scallion, mustard seeds, dill, oregano, basil
A good ras el hanout.
Make sure it got rose petals innit.

>>7645223
Added a few but this is hard without smelling them.
Salt and pepper are really the only golden standards...
Anything else will accrue naturally depending on what you cook/experiment with.
Pic related, I did not go to buy all that in one shopping spree ;-)
>>7647186

Yeah, dried ginger maybe. And I'm thinking might be Fenugreek on the upper left diagonal of Saffron
Dried cum, preferably crushed.

Hey /ck/. I'm in the middle of making a burrito and didn't realize I'm out of cumin. I've got some chili pepper. Can I substitute cumin with Paprika or Chili Powder?
>>7649110
No, paprika and chili powder don't taste like cumin.
>>7649110
> Americans
I put hot pepper flakes cooked in olive oil in fucking everything. Everything.
>Put cumin in mortar and pestle
>Take one seed out and put it in mouth
>Suck on seed while cooking rest of meal
Am I the only one? It's such a nice sweet flavor.

>that one fucking guy
>food colouring for third world countries
>the "i fucked up" option
hot peppers (aka i fucked up and i must make this not taste like shit)
rosemary & bay leaf (if I have to use a strong spice I want the option of having it not taste like a spice)
cumin (for the little infidel with a heartburn condition)
ginger (how else are you going to get all the tastes to bind together in a stew?)
Everything else you can figure out without a 50 page write-up.
>>7644374
Solar salt, whole peppercorn, mortar and pestle, turmeric, garlic, saffron is always good to have on hand because it will last forever, cinnamon, garlic powder. Buy everything in bulk. You will get up to 8 times the amount for as little as twice the cost. 1.6oz x $7 vs 16oz x $12
>>7644374
What is that spirally looking thing on the third colum third from the bottom?
>>7649502
long pepper. What most people used before black pepper. tastes almost exactly the same.
>>7648464
This is good, I'd drop curry powder and add coriander, garam massala too
how do you store your spices?
>>7644374
i live by an ethnic market with ten different versions of every spice.
What should i get
>>7651375
AIDS
>>7651383
yes, there is that too.
But really they have a whole freaking wall of diffrent spices and im a pleb who doesnt know what to buy.
Rergular stores have like 7 different things tops
>>7651362
in a thing
Salt
Black pepper
Garlic
Basil
Blends like "italian seasoning" or "poultry seasoning" or even blackened seasoning/creole seasoning.
Thats really it for any residential pantries.
>>7651385
Tell them what you want to cook and if theres anythimg interesting or exotic to add to it.
Thats a good way to start learning about spices.
>>7651428
w-whats a good starter exhotic meal?
>>7649354
>>white folk MSG
explain
>>7651457
Thai curry, easy spices, only a few flavours involved, most people like it, if you fuck up you can just make it hot as fuck.
>>7651362
Indian here. I just have a pantry full of those glass pickling jars (glass is the best for storing spice), filled with spices. I just counted and I have around 3 dozen, plus some larger vessels for more commonly used things like chili.
salt, peppers, garlic are the only universal ones.
>>7644374
Salt
Pepper
Onion
Garlic
Parmesan Cheese
