Over the past couple years we have gotten to know one of the demonstration cooks at our local Wegmans, so when she gave a high recommendation to A. Vogel Herbamare Seasoning Salt, we bought some. Tasty Stuff. I am looking forward to trying it on popcorn.

Looks interesting and they sell it 32 ounce containers too.

Speaking of salt, I recently bought some Vulcan's fire salt from The Spice House, and some Inca fire salt from the Silk Road Spice Merchant in Calgary (whose Madras curry powder smells amazing, if any of my fellow Canucks are looking to avoid the postage to ship here from the US). Anyone have any ideas for how to use these?

I have struggled to find uses for Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning that may be similar to fire salt. So far, I have found that deviled eggs and egg salad work well with it. I also like creamy soups with some heat. I have used it to season corn chowder and potato soup and I can't imagine hurting clam chowder either. And chicken! Chicken and heat work together, but I cant imagine a anything beating the flavor of Buffalo wings if you deep fry at home.

Now if can only get some inspiration to use my 7 pound block of pink Himalayan salt for something besides baking brie.

A local boy. I bought it as a healthy alternative to Aromat but my kids like the Aromat.

They have a pretty big selection.

Who is this local boy? And what did you buy?

I was thinking chicken and maybe flank steak for the grill might like the fire salts...iirc, they are a mix of hot chilies, lime, flavourings like onion and garlic, and salt. So a spicy, limey, seasonned salt. Breakfast burritos maybe? (DH likes spicy eggs).

I have to admit I went a bit blend crazy. Usually I stick to the basics and make my own rubs, but this time I decided that if I was paying $$$ for shipping, I'd try some new things. It's been fun so far.

Local as in Swiss. I don't know that I have bought much of it but we often get samples in the mail. I was never much of a flavored salt girl but have recently discovered one flavor flavored salt that I love (truffle, fennel, flowers...). They also do a bunch of herbal remedy stuff.

I don't usually buy blends either, but received a free jar of Penzey's Forward and Northwoods seasonings thanks to the coupons. The Forward is salt free and I am finding myself using it more and more often. Ingredients are (from the Penzey's website):
Quote:
special extra bold black pepper, onion, paprika, garlic, turmeric, spice extractives (including oleoresin of celery, rosemary, black pepper, thyme, basil, paprika).
It's great on home fries.

I haven't yet used the Northwoods. Doesn't strike my fancy, I guess (hmm...maybe I need to lay off the Downton Abbey).
