4 must have spices for camping

[KeikoOka]

When camping there are 4 important spices to use. They are all fantastic in many ways, but the most important reason to use them is because of their ability to stimulate the brain and to decrease inflammation. The 4 spices we always take with us are ginger, cinnamon, turmeric and rosemary.

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, steak seasoning and lemon pepper along with oil and vinegar.

If you don't have garlic on your list, I won't camp with you. I like Judy Ann's list. She seems to have the essentials down.

I love to cook with spices, and have an extensive collection. I've never used turmeric, though. How would you describe it, and what do you do with it?

[Judy Ann]

Oh you should try tumeric. Google Dr. OZ for his recommendations on antiinflammatory foods and spices. Another yellow spice for rice.

[Cappy]

Far as I can tell Dr. Oz aint much of a camper.

What?? no ketchup?? Okay, I'm not a ketchup fan either but I know a couple of people that would probably put it in their coffee if they could.

I could never limit to only four! We always bring a lot of lemons and fresh garlic- at least a dozen fists of garlic. For powdered spices: Garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, thyme, paprika, 7spice (which is an Arab mixture of spices) cinnamon and nutmeg.

What? No Cayenne??? I always carry that and try to snag some of the little Tabasco sauce thingies at fast food places, too.

Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Garlic, Dried minced onions, Dill, Curry powder, are some of my other favorites.

Curry powder is a great idea to bring camping. I'm not allowed to fix curries at home because of the stink that permeates the house for days afterward but now I'm thinking I'll fix a nice curry dish on my next camping trip. Thanks for the idea.
