Why the fuck do you people pay so much for spices? Those McCormick small bottles are like 40000% markup. Stop being so financially retarded

>>14112118
The pic is just one I found because I wanted something relevant. Calm the fuck down.

>>14112085
Literally 50-60 different kinds. We got what's equivalent to 99 cents store that sells 100 g for a dollar, fiddy for every spice you need. Otherwise I order online.
Q: how does that rack work? You pull it out?

>>14112085
Pic related is what I got. Bought most of the Frontier spices when they were half off at luckys. Their ground ginger is the best for keeping flavor. Still haven't figured out how to use the french herb one.

>>14112210
Also recently caved and bought these. Got a grill recently and was going to need to need some rubs. Plus been wanting to cut out sugar and get popcorn seasoning.

Just right for the Queen's Court.

>>14112085
I love that rack. Did you build it?

>>14112085

Dear OP, please show how difficult it is to remove your spice jars from that over-complicated rack.

>>14112942
I'm too lazy to get spice grater thing. I'm sure fresh is better though.

>>14112118
Well, dipshit, because in most cases, they are the cheapest on the grocery shelf. I go through about 1 of those small bottles every 3-4 years. So what the fuck else should I buy, fuck stick?

>>14112085
you should invest in a food dehydrator and dry your own spices. it tastes better, and you can grow them for near nothing.

>>14113148
>what’s in your spice rack
apparently yours is full of a bunch of shit you never use so who gives a fuck anyway?

>>14113148

Hun....

Why are those spices in jail?

>>14112085
>popcorn salt

I have a shitty, unorganized spice rack that I would be embarrassed to share with anyone here. At some point this summer I intend on doing a whole revamp and actually figuring out where some great shops are in the city that I can use to get fresh, cheap spices (anyone living in West Philadelphia have any specific advice about some good immigrant shops or what-not?).

>>14112085
>cumin

This and Montreal seasoning best on literally everything

>>14114252
cumin da best

>>14113148
Just don't buy them. You don't use enough for it to matter if it's 3-4 years for a bottle. Just stop pretending at this point lmao

>>14112085
>smoked paprika

HE FELL FOR IT

>>14114252

Anchovies isn't a fucking seasoning you mong

cayenne pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
dried parsley

>>14114438

>sacrificing the back corner of your cupboard
Must be nice, just throwing away perfectly usable cubic inches of storage space like that. I personally prefer to board up my cupboards so I can maximize my unusable storage space.

I'm Fuckin dyin here

>>14114472
>throwing away perfectly usable cubic inches
I bet you I wasted less space, and fit more spice bottles in my space than OP did in his space. And I can have irregular sized bottles too. Both systems take up real estate, his have meme runners and plexiglass dividers while my shit is wide open and adaptable.

>>14114472
>your wasting space by utilizing it

>>14112085

>>14113148
Everyone in the know is getting their spices elsewhere, along with several other ingredients, but continue paying the stupid wh*teoid tax for your itty bitty cuck jars

>>14114571
You brownies have issues don't you?
You have so many chips on your shoulders that it's making you retarded.

>>14113917
Lmao

>>14114591
It could be worse for you, you could be Swedish. What's your tax rate 99%? sucker.

>>14114591
What are you, some kind of pathetic arab brownie?

I cbf going out to the kitchen but I have bulk bags (500g/1kg) of smoked paprika, basil, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, sage, italian herb mix, ground coriander. I had a bag of thyme but insects got into it and I had to throw the whole bag out :< Thankfully it was the only bag they got into.
I have smaller jars/packs (50g to 250g) of cocoa powder, lemon pepper, ground mustard, majoram, parsley, dill. sumac, chilli powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, garam masala and a small bag of replacement thyme.

to get technical, popcorn salt is very finely ground.

>>14112085

>>14114591
>identify as white.

where do you go to get the freshest spices.
A lot of places if you buy in bulk , you get shitto tasteless spices. Where do you get the stuff that still has zing?

>>14114438
anchovies is best seasoning.
Though, when I use them as a topping, they're dried anchovies; and when I use them as a seasoning, I use the meaty jars.

unlike pic anon.

>>14112085
I have nearly everything I might need. It's 3 shelves completely loaded up. I used to have things kind of in alphabetical order but I always move things around when I cook and now I have to dig for anything that isn't salt or pepper

>>14114550
xanthan and lecithin.
Based.
Put a fucking scoop of lecithin in anything liquid and blend it up. Fucking silky.

>>14114550
punk salt sounds rough

>>14112170
what language is this written in?

>>14112085
ONLY GARLIC SALT
