    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.)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 758 ✭✭✭whydoibother?


    Pasta, tomatoes and black olives.

    Bit of an Italian thing going on at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭S.R.F.C.


    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!

    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.

    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

  • 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...

    OK - going to be a little greedy here and go for 5 ingredients.

    The first 3 are basic - onions, garlic and chillis.

    My fourth are limes. I go through bags every week, squeezed over grilled meat, in cocktails and in salad dressings. So so tasty.

    My fifth are salt flakes. These add an extra dimension when sprinkled ove grilled meats and salads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭louise5754


    Mushrooms,Peppers and onions. They seem to be the basis of most of my meals from casseroles to stir frys!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,120 ✭✭✭shrapnel222


    i've changed my mind. i'm going for Cow, Pig, and Chicken. can't live without those in my life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,140 ✭✭✭olaola


    Chorizo, garlic and onions.
