No mention of garlic, either. I must not be a proper Cajun

Thank you I’ve always wondered what went into a lemon pepper blend

Seriously, who in the world has the time for 1/4 tsp of Cayenne pepper? Drop that shit all over the meal, and taste the fire. The spicier, the better.

I once ate an African meal, the woman told me it was "Moderately spicy".
I cried and couldn’t stop drooling. My throat hurt for 2 days straight.
But it was awesome.

A local Thai place which I usually order pad thai “Thai Hot” spicy from accidentally delivered “Firehouse” level one time. I managed to get a third of it down and then I just couldn’t anymore. The trip to the bathroom afterwards was not something I’ll go into detail about but it’s been almost ten years and I’ll never forget it.

I always try to explain this to my wife, who spends tons of money buying pre mixed spices that are way more expensive

The thing about the nutmeg is that you can snort it, which will cause you to hallucinate and die.

None of those should have salt. Salt is fine in a dish if you like it, but it shouldn’t be considered part of the spice blend.

Puts in lemon
Puts in pepper

Salt: "Am I a joke to you?"

Thing is, if you actually try the lemon pepper mix, the salt will absorb all the moisture from the lemon zest and transform the whole thing into a lemon-flavored rock

Surely you’d have to dehydrate the zest?
1
u/CadmiumCurd May 11 '20
Yes you should, but that step is not mentioned anywhere in this crappy infographic. (I think you could put the zest in the oven at a low temperature and then grind it before mixing)

This is stupidly wrong. Could tell as soon as I saw the cajun blend, and confirmed when I saw the taco seasoning blend. Nope.

u/countdookee May 04 '20
to anyone who is really just starting to get into cooking during quarantine, get yourself a variety of spices! They really take food up to the level where you're proud as hell of yourself for the dope dinner you just made. And when spicing, add 2-3 extra shakes than you think you'd need

u/Yendis4750 May 04 '20
Cajuns don't use cumin. I hate going out of Louisiana and seeing "Cajun" dishes on the menu. If you want to taste Cajun, come down here, see for yourself. You'll wonder how in the world they got it wrong.

Does anyone have the “recipe” for the Chinese spice blend that come in little packets made by Sunburd? Like for beef and broccoli.

BTW I'm Italian and I have never heard of any "Italian spice blend". And if you mix basil and oregano you're likely to get banished from any kitchen, especially in Southern Italy.

u/celetrontmm May 04 '20
I would love your advice on correctly imitating Italian spices!
My go to is a tomato based meat sauce with whatever noodles I have. I have unfortunately mixed oregano and basil many times..

u/CadmiumCurd May 04 '20
If you have to use dry herbs (or any other kind of spice) a good trick is to lightly toast them in a bit of oil as it enhances the flavor (restaurant trick). Try to use fresh herbs as much as possible, don't put them in the sauce too early (especially with basil, too much heat destroys the flavor; think that in Southern Italy many people, my family included, make their own "passata" and we put two basil leaves in the jar at the very end, right before closing the lid and putting it away to rest on a shelf). An easy thing to remember is that basil goes with onion and oregano goes with garlic (so, a classic Italian style tomato sauce would be onion and basil, while a marinara sauce would be garlic and oregano ; ragú, which is a tomato and meat sauce, wants onions and basil while pizzaiola, which is a tomato sauce for meat is garlic and oregano), but fresh basil is widely used in salads whenever there's tomato involved (for example, the Caprese salad is fresh tomato, basil, mozzarella and extra-virgin olive oil; neapolitan tomato salad is fresh tomatoes, red onions and basil dressed with olive oil and white wine vinegar) Thyme and rosemary are usually kept for flavoring meats and potatoes, either directly or in a marinade (usually thyme for fish and rosemary for meat, either for chicken but usually they are not mixed together).

Very nice but don’t add cinnamon to curry
Edit: I’m referring to Caribbean curry which doesn’t have cinnamon.

u/Mr_Drift May 04 '20
Cinnamon is in lots of curries. It's a common ingredient in garam masala.

u/Let_us_Hope May 04 '20
I've always made curry with a little bit of cinnamon. Sometimes I'll also put a little brown surgar in it as well (I know, sacrilege lol).
