Ordering fancy ingredients online; what does /ck/ order? Exotic items to spice up old recipes; or bulk buying of your staples? For me, it's Aleppo Chilli
>>21491889 (OP) I don't bulk buy any food / ingredients online. I do order less common spices that I like to use. From a glace in the cupboard, that includes: mace, saffron, grains of paradise, long pepper, sansho pepper, tasmanian pepper, lemon myrtle, wattleseed, carrot seed, hing powder, summaq, gentian (bitter), nigella seed, tamala, rosita de cacao, aji chili powder, mexican vanilla bean, voatsiperifery, black cardamom
>>21491951 >carrot seed >tamala >voatsiperifery We actually have it have had the rest of your list in the house and we buy/bought it locally but I've no idea what anyone would use carrot seed for nor what its flavour might be and never even heard of the other two. I'd like to find certain produce that I can't get here. I can always find spices
>>21491973 I would like to get exotic produce, but I don't really trust ordering it online, nor do I know a good source.
Tamala looks a bit like bay leaves, carries a warm spice flavor, and is not uncommon in curries. It also shows up under various names in medieval European recipes. Voatsiperifery tastes like black pepper and savory herbs. Carrot seed I've never used. It smells a bit woody but also sweet.
Buckwheat flour. It's often hard to get. Also flour in bulk, 5/10kg bags Other than that, I mostly buy whole spices in bulk, 200g whole black pepper, caraway seeds, juniper berries, allspice, nutmeg, cloves. Most supermarkets just stock small bags and often they only have ground spices which I never buy.

>>21492004 >Tamala looks a bit like bay leaves, carries a warm spice flavor, and is not uncommon in curries Oh, then yeah, we've got some. My wife is Indian but she calls it something else. As for exotic product, yeah, nah, not so much exotic as just not sold in the US. I'm from yurp. I can get a huge variety of brown people fruits and veg in my area but I can't get medlars, tree strawberries, gooseberries, currants or even certain herbs or varieties of celery here.
