Umm, this is the fast food and processed food board, sir.

Cayenne of course, silly.

Maple syrup, Heinz 57 sauce, A1 steaksauce, ketchup, what's budget spicy ketchup, Alfredo sauce, white gravy mix packets, Brown gravy mix packets, Korean bbq sauce, jack daniels marinades, crystal or tapatillo hot sauces, sweet/sour sauce, chinese brown sauce, mole sauce

*whataburger spicy ketchup

>>9150105
What's available at the local commissary? Or are you expecting it to be shipped from home?

Also, why haven't you set up a still yet?

>>9150110
>goes into a completely irrelevant thread to cry about food-related threads he doesn't like
Are you actually autistic

Ginger powder, curry powder, stir fry sauce, teriyaki sauce, kansas city style bbq sauce

Isn't Afghanistan a war zone? What are you doing there?

>>9150153
You're not very smart, are you?

Old bay seasoning

>>9150105
this shit is awesome
chili/lime

>>9150156
I saw it on the news. Big battles against the Taliban.

>>9150110
Sorry we don't have a Burger King here like in Qatar so my options are limited to only "fresh" cooked food

>>9150128
Didn't even think of that, definitely getting some. Thanks

>>9150131
Syrup doesn't work for most stuff. Already have some steak sawce on order thankfully. Looking into some marinades as well. Most of that stuff probably won't work with the limited options we have unfortunately.

>>9150138
>local commissary
Don't have one. All we have is a Class 1 which the squadron has to order from. All our meals come from the Dining Facility, subway, or pizzahut. No place on base to buy food or food related items. The Base Exchange has cold drinks and some snacks like jerky, but that's it. I'm ordering from amazon since they deliver to APO addresses, as well as having family send anything amazon won't send, so all suggestions are welcome.

>>9150150
Definitely getting some curry powder since I'm a fan of spice, and the teriyaki and BBQ sauce both could go good with some of the options here. Thanks!

>>9150153
Weather operations. Amazon writes WAR ZONE real big on its shipping labels, I thought it was amusing.

That pic looks bland as shit. Hope you get it figured out.

>>9150176
Amazon, huh?

Well, could slice it up and do pesto and balsamic vinegar for italian. Tony Chachare's creole seasoning would be good too. Creole seasoning is basically salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. I'd go for the low-salt version as I'm sure it's alredady sodium heavy. You'll never hear it from anyone else, but the best sriracha is made in Mexcio and comes in a fucking water bottle. Badia brand is best. For a good basic hot sauce, I assume you already got tabasco and texas pete, so maybe something fruity or smokey like mango habanero or chipolte sauce. Pickapeppa is a Caribbean fruity sauce blend that goes great, I like the gingery mango one. Can't rule out salad dressing either like french, peppercorn ranch, or vidalia sauce.

Lots of options. I'd assume (probably incorrectly) that you have lemon, so you could already rig a lemon pepper sauce.


>I likes my sauces

>>9150169
We never left, is what I'm sayin'

>>9150105
Afghanistanis also eat mac & cheese?

>>9150201
It really is. No seasoning or spices at all. The thing is I've been here a couple months now so I'm starting to get used to it but I still crave some flavortown action now and then.

>>9150205
My god thank you for those suggestions. Ordering creole seasoning. Trust me we need the salt out here to retain water. Got sriracha on order already. Planning on ordering some hot sauce and wing sauce with this batch of stuff too. Gonna order some of that pickapeppa it sounds dank. Thankfully we have packets of salad dressing available at the DFAC.
>tfw no lemon

>>9150210
Read "The Forever War" if you want to learn about it. Very interesting book.

>>9150215
Americans in Afghanistan do. Baked Mac and cheese that's bland as shit and looks amazing but each bite is filled with disappointment and sadness.

>>9150232
>Read "The Forever War"
Literally the next on my list after I finish up Storm of Steel. I have a sci-fi gap that needs filling after Starship Troopers

Tell us about the chemtrails

>>9150105
Lawry's seasoned salt or a Cajun spice blend are great, easy ways to mask the taste of bland food and give it some kick. They're the ketchup of seasonings.

>>9150105


Cajun profile spices. Start with these ratios and adjust to meet your taste.

1.5 parts: cayenne pepper, smoked paprika
1 part: black pepper, dried chili flakes
1/4 part: onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, thyme

Chop up the protein, some tomatoes and onions, add the spice, and mix with some rice.

Indian profiles spices. Again, start with these ratios and adjust as desired.
2 parts: Cumin, cayenne pepper
1.5 parts: Coriander
1 part: garlic powder, ginger powder
.5 parts: cinnamon, black pepper
.25 parts: turmeric, clove, star anise

Add to rice, to the protein, or chop it up and serve with tomatoes and onion as above.

Italian profile spices. Use these in a blend, or as a solitary flavor enhancer on veggies, like tomato.

Oregano, basil, garlic powder, thyme, marjoram, dried chili flakes

That should help keep things interesting.

You know the whole point of specifying recipes in "parts" is to do away with fractions? So why do your recipes include fractions?

Should be:
>>6 parts: cayenne pepper, smoked paprika
>>4 parts: black pepper, dried chili flakes
>>1 part: onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, thyme

>>9150105
I shot two of you goat fuckers in 2011, Helmand province.

>>9150105
just buy a vast array of hot sauces

>>9152292

You know the whole point of listing ratios is because people asking about spices usually need a starting point to make adjustments from in any given seasoning blend?

You didn't know that, though, did you dipshit?

>>9152306
You shot two Americans?

>>9152319
>need a starting point to make adjustments from in any given seasoning blend?
Obviously. I'm just wondering why you chose such a silly method to provide that starting point.

Your sad reply doesn't answer my question. I'll ask it again since you seemed to miss it the first time:

The purpose of using "parts" is to avoid fractions. So why did your retarded ass combine both parts and fractions when the entire point of "parts" is to avoid using fractions at all?

>>9150105
If you needed it to be a fully effective fighting machine, the US government would have provided it to you.

>>9152325
No I shot two Afghans.

>>9150105
Ketchup, mayo, mustard, hot sauce, etc

>>9152471
OP is an American soldier not an Arab.

>>9152348

Are you really this fucking stupid?

Do you think that dude brought measuring spoons?

Parts allow him to season by eye using an MRE spoon.

We're done, idiot.

>>9152348
>this nigger can't do math

>>9152494
>Do you think that dude brought measuring spoons?

Nope, that's exactly why I'm pointing out your idiocy. How is anyone going to measure the fractions that you called for? Does an MRE spoon have a marking for "1/4"? Hell no.

Parts makes perfect sense. Just not parts *involving fractions*.

>>9152516

I already did the math when I corrected foolboy the first time.

I just want him to explain the logic behind combining fractions with parts. It's a real head-scratcher. I wonder if he also combines decmials with fractions? Like "add .75/4 of X". Don't you wonder what other silly contradictions are running around in his head, and why he feels that it's appropriate to share them?

>>9152292
>You know the whole point of specifying recipes in "parts" is to do away with fractions? So why do your recipes trigger my autism so hard?
His post was entirely defensible. Your post is shit.

>>9152609
>His post was entirely defensible.

Then why has nobody actually answered my question yet? You say it's defensible, yet you do not defend it by explaining how?

>>9152536
So you're retarded.....I mean, "mentally handicapped".

Here, let me help you out with pic related.

We're done, here, precious.

>>9152719
>We're done, here, precious.

You haven't answered my question yet anon. I wonder why that is?

>walk into this thread
>>9152719
You are one dumb motherfucker.

>>9152642
>Why do you not elaborate on the sky being blue
Because blow me?

>>9152292
I bet this faggot is another Brit Ameriboo.

G'damn /ck/ needs flags so we can filter these idiots.

>>9152483
Afghan's aren't Arab you ignorant Amerishart

>>9152855
Speaking of ignorance, why'd you stick an apostrophe in "Afghans"?

>>9152881
Touché

Last time my brother was deployed, he always wanted Frank's Red Hot, lemon pepper, and garlic salt. He barely had any room, and apparently those three covered most things.

>>9150105
You must be in Bagram, fucking steak Fridays, must be nice.
I recommend balsamic vinegar on anything and everything. It's even good on fries.

Now tell me about these weather operations. Do you work with HAARP?

>>9150105
Thank you for your service.
God bless you and come home safe.

>>9150105

Just eat some of the local food. Aghani food is really good.

>>9154901
Was about to suggest this.
If you want food that's full of flavour then Aghani food is a very good choice.
Especially if they got lamb, those fuckers are amazing with lamb.
Just don't pick stuff that's too spicy.

Suck dick in the portashitters for jalapeno cheese spread packets

Squirt packets into your asshole

go to MWR and get ODoules beer,

pour it all over your food

>>9152171
Not a government conspiracy.

>>9155182
Definitely this.
Afghan food is probably he tastiest Asian cuisine you'll ever try.

>>9150105
man I love DFAC grilled chicken breast. I used to eat that shit daily at Meade.

Let me recommend:

- guacamole dip (pic related)
- lemon pepper seasoning
- cumin + fresh squeezed lemon
- soy sauce
- sriracha (used to have this in the barracks w/ rice w/ my chicken b)
