Not sure I'd've used up the included BBQ spice blend or the Jamaican Jerk mix on the road, but to be fair I've never actually *tried* them with lentils (my travel food staple). The result can't possibly be worse than the peanut butter and avocado sandwich debacle.
Anyhow, for those of you thinking of taking a cross-country bike trip sometime soon, maybe get yourself one of these. Me, I may just tuck it into my little messenger bag the next time I head to a friend's place to make dinner. Never know when I might need some emergency sweet paprika powder or Chinese 5-spice blend. Though I may need to include a supplementary kit with lavender, cumin, coriander seed, turmeric, saffron....
Oooh, that looks really handy even if you aren't traveling. We had to throw out a bunch of spices a few months ago because we just hadn't used them up and they were several years old.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of travel sandwiches, peanut butter and avocado sandwiches sound terrible. I wouldn't recommend my mistake - nutella and jelly, way tooo sweet - but it wasn't that bad.
