    Thanks for clearing that up. There's me thinking of loads of boardsies going aroung with very garlicky & oniony breath. :)

    For me it would be ginger, garlic & limes. I can make any dish taste nice with those. (Apart from a bacon sandwich.)

    Pasta, tomatoes and black olives.

    Bit of an Italian thing going on at the moment.

    There's a theme developing here and i'm continuing it with two of my definites being garlic and black pepper, for my third i wouldn't say 'couldn't live without' but i do love it - smoked paprika!

    Sea salt flakes, olive oil, basmati rice.

    Salt, citrus (lemon or lime, I can't decide), chilli.

    Salt, garlic and onions I'd say. I would say cinnamon, but I use that almost exclusively in baking, and I assume this is cooking-related.

  • Registered Users Posts: 850 ✭✭✭nervous_twitch


    Gonna really break the mould here, but most definitely onion, garlic and black pepper :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 84 ✭✭n0irin


    It's a hard one...

    I'd have to say Garlic, Freshly Ground Black Pepper and Soy Sauce.

    What? The 5 Spice? It comes in one jar, hence 1 ingredient.

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it, yer honour. :D

    Anchovies, garlic, olive oil

    Good quality tin of Spanish smoke Paprika is addictive too....well played :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,821 ✭✭✭stimpson


    Coriander
    Lime
    And my extensive collection of chilli sauces.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,296 ✭✭✭Frank Black


    Gin, Tonic and Lime.:p
    If you have enough of these, the fact that you’re missing so many other crucial ingredients will seem less important.

    If you need to make your bacon sandwich taste nicer with more ingredients, you're doing it wrong...
