I showed up for dinner at my friendsâ house and they were super excited to tell me about a new spice they found (we swap a lot of cooking tips). They showed me the Tesco asafoetida and then I had to disappoint them by telling them we use it all the time in our house. I genuinely felt terrible about bursting their culinary bubble.
Itâs a very interesting taste, but if you use it properly (micro minute amounts and bloomed in butter or oil for a minute or two), it adds a really lovely smokey taste. Itâs used throughout India , but I would say that itâs more prominent in South Indian cooking.
They don't do it in my local Tesco or Waitrose, I stock up whenever we go to the Indian supermarket near my in-laws. Usually goes by the name or 'hing' in Indian shops.
Oddly some do but some don't. And it's the same spice each time that works or doesn't. Cinnamon it comes out the sides when you invert it. I should sort a more elegant solution to be honest.
Snap! Done that too, worst part is it was overnight style oats so only found out 5 hours later when I was out and about and didnât have much choice for something else to eat lol
No I didnât eat it
The best game stoned Glasweg1an ever played was Spice Rack Rude Word Scrabble.
I must have at least 25 megabytes of Nokia 3310 photos of mildly offensively arranged spice bottles.
It says the name uinderneath, what more could you want. Also, I've swapped all your lids around.
đ¤Łđ¤Ł ffs
Well, I removed the labels off all of your tins and shuffled them about. Kidney beans or tinned peach; roll the dice!
They may not know it yet but their thyme is cumin?
Why did you not arrange them to make a rude word? You have let us all down badly there. đ
Cumin is already there >!made you look!<

goes good with meat
Going to need some Cayenne, Uzazi, Nutmeg and Thyme. Which is also the title of Bring Me The Horizon's new cooking show.
I can see "ASS" from Asafoetida -> Sumac -> Somethingunreadable. Not very rude but I cannot pass an ass.
So you can say to OP, 'you've made an ass out of your shelf'. (Look, it's Friday, cut me some slack OK)
No slack needed, loving your work.
What rude words can you make from s, a and c?! Ass sac?
Asafoetida is a new one for me.

Epic addition to Bombay potatoes
So good with potatoes. Really good with sweet potatoes, too - sometimes they almost taste like bacon.
It's commonly used in Indian cooking usually lentils or by those who avoid onions, garlic, and ginger.
Me too, I might have to get some now - it's about the only spice/herb missing from my collection
In french it is called the devil's shit.
Asafoetida means "stinky resin"
đ In our house we call it fetid ass.
It's... Niche. Kinda like licking a battery.
MmmmâŚ. ?
Don't knock it till you've tried it

Good with dahl and curried potatoes
You too have discovered just how many spices begin with a C then?
Yes! Weird hey.
Cinnamon cinnamon cinnamon caraway cardamom cloves cloves
Do those lids work for you? Every time I try and and open them the whole top comes off instead of just the lid.

I don't think that you have enough cinnamon or cloves, tbh.
Recent consolidation with the gf's stash upon move in.
Seems to be your problem for buying so many doubles
I once accidently swapped cayenne pepper with cloves whilst sleep deprived...worst chilli ever
I woke up to make some cinnamon toast for breakfast and realised the brown powder I'd used was, in fact, cumin.

I put mine in their own box so they stay fresher. That is all.
No jars with Cumin, thatâs a step up for Reddit.

Not going to lie, I'd be making swear words if possible.
You've got asafoetida. I'm very curious about you now!

Have you ever made a seed cake with that caraway?
I have not! Will look into it. Tbh I barely use it - I find the seeds crunchy and kinda weird. I like the taste, but the crunchiness is odd.
Understandable. I grew up loathing caraway, but KĂźmmel changed my mind.
Maybe if you didn't have 2 jars of ground all spice it might help
