Nutmeg is good to have around too.

>>8543629
Agreed. Good addition to potatoes and meat.
>>8543547
You forgot ginger, essential for meat recipes and Asian cuisine

This. Or whatever hot sauce you prefer.

>>8543629
Can't make a proper white sauce without it, it's great to have on hand

>>8542785
Why does this shit matter?

When on a diet, I make savory oatmeal with this. Water, hondashi stock, kikoman soy sauce, green onion, cooked diced chicken breast. When finished, topped with furikake and togarashi; it comes out pretty decent. As the oats go along way in satiety, it almost works like a sticky rice porridge substitute.

>>8544409 Here, I was debating between that and lemons and went with lemons since I use them more often. But honestly, I've replaced worchestershire sauce with asian fish sauce

As long as were posting things that aren't strictly spices/seasonings.

>>8544443
Sugar is essential for tomato based cooking

>>8544422
I really don't use it all that often. It's good in some sauces and marinades or with sauteed mushrooms, but it's rarely one of the first things I reach for.

>>8544409
What does Sherry vinegar taste like? I already have white distilled, apple cider, and balsamic vinegars. The idea of getting another kind is a little annoying.

>>8544449
Pretty much anytime I use ground meat I toss some in there

It makes meat "meatier"

>>8543547
cum in what?

>>8544444
I like mine a bit acidic. If needed I'll add a small amount of baking powder to my sauces. You just gotta be sure to cook it until the reaction is fully completed or it will taste horrid.

It replaced all of them except white distilled. I've never used a balsamic vinegar that wasn't close to $100 and most that reasonably priced are fakes.

It's basically the greatest tasting red wine vinegar you can get and any recipe that calls for vinegar gets sherry. I even splash it on soups. Use it as a seasoning since, along with salt, is a flavor enhancer. thomas keller can it explain it better than I :
