I went to every supermarket trying to find coriander powder for a special recipe and it was impossible to find I wish we had some more spices here, but I wouldn't know what to do with most of them.

 

[Kate]

OK apparently it is cream but mixed with sugar. FILTH

I have never used tarragon or dill, where do you use them? Stews? Meat?

God I love a shelf full of spices even when I know I'm never gonna use half of them

Some of them are QUITE OLD.

 

[Kate]

I don’t like nutmeg either. Fuck knows why I have it

 

[lolly]

I think I've only ever used tarragon with chicken. Dill is usually used with fish.

Dill is ace on salmon

Other than that and the occasional basil chucked into a Bolognese my spice rack is strictly ORNAMENTAL only

 

[Alla]

Thanks, I'll try next time I put some fish in the oven.

 

[lolly]

Yes, I bet a lot of mine are considerably out of date. Herbs I manage to use and replace, but apart from paprika and sumac, I bet most of my spices are used once or twice and then thrown away about 4 years later.

 

[Alla]

Do you use saffron over there? It is an essential for rice here, quite expensive.

 

[RJN]

You can use dill to make your own pickles too. I’ve never actually done this, but I want to

Make your own pickles? God we have such a different diet. I feel fascinated by some of the stuff you eat, in a good way, I love trying different things. Excepts crisps, sorry.

I love saffron on rice but I’ve only had it at restaurants

Do you mean me or people on moopy in general?

Isn't this another US/English confusion? Do you mean

?

I think we're talking about dill the herb

 

[Kate]

I don’t have any, but yes we do. It tends to be for colour more than anything else though and I find the much cheaper turmeric does the same job!

 

[Phoenix]

Do Spaniards not eat pickles? It can’t be that exotic.

 

[Zu]

1 Thyme
2 Rosemary
3 Spearmint
4 Tarragon
5 Dill

Ooo I forgot about thyme. I like that in rice and peas. Pop that in at number FOUR

 

[Kate]

Dill pickles are just pickled gherkins with dill added to the vinegar, right? (yuck, what a waste )

 

[RJN]

Isn't this another US/English confusion? Do you mean

No I’m talking about the herb too. Putting it in the brine with the cucumbers to make the pickles.
Not that I’ve ever actually done this

 

[Zu]

That @Phoenix is so AWFUL AND RUDE

 

[lolly]

So when you say 'dill pickles', does the 'dill' just refer to the herb, and the pickle is a more generic term for what is pickled?

 

[RJN]

This is what I buy. But I wouldn’t call the pickles dills. The dill is the seasoning

 

[Kate]

I have never bought SUMAC! What do you use it for?

The pickle is a pickled cucumber and the dill is the flavor of it

I’m really not describing it well but I think it’s the same as what you’re saying

 

[lolly]

The pickle is a pickled cucumber

That's what confuses me - because I pickle just about anything.

 

[RJN]

Ok I see the confusion. I would pickle anything (pickled radish, picked asparagus, whatever) but the word “pickle” is usually used for pickled cucumbers

 

[Alla]

Do you mean me or people on moopy in general?

In general. I had pickle onions for the first time 3 years ago or so, just because I like to try different things. I know they're extremely common in UK, but I've never seen anyone in my family buying them. And same with many other things here. Oh but I discovered banana loaf thanks to Moopy and I've made it a few times already, so good!

 

[lolly]

I have never bought SUMAC! What do you use it for?

I have an Iranian friend who introduced me to it a few years ago. She told me she uses it pretty much in any way you'd use lemon as a flavour enhancer. I usually stir it into plain hummus, or into labneh with mint it's delicious.
