I am creating my first order, ever, for Penzeys. I would love some ideas for what members have tried and liked.:)

Thank you!

I'm lucky to be within about 30 minutes of a Penzeys store. I go their more often than I should.

I like their 'Four S' Seasoned Salt, Sweet Curry Powder, Tellicherry Peppercorns.

I buy just about all of my spices, dried chilies and dried herbs there.

Their pork chop seasoning is quite good, great for when you just want to season porkchops and cook 'em with very little fuss.

Their smoked seasoned salt is excellent too.
 
I'm lucky to be within about 30 minutes of a Penzeys store. I go their more often than I should.

I like their 'Four S' Seasoned Salt, Sweet Curry Powder, Tellicherry Peppercorns.

I buy just about all of my spices, dried chilies and dried herbs there.

Thank You, Andy!

I've tasted the 'Four S,' courtesy of my supervisor, which led me to looking them up. I got my catalog and am just about silly with circling, I know I can't get all of it, hence my request for help!:)

Thank You, JPBill!

I see you like the ginger. What do you use the mustard seeds for? What is the heat level on the Med Hot Chili Powder? Last question, Half-Sharp Paprika, what is that like?
 
Their pork chop seasoning is quite good, great for when you just want to season porkchops and cook 'em with very little fuss.

Their smoked seasoned salt is excellent too.

Thank You, BakeChef!

Is it called Pork Chop Seasoning? and Is the smoked season salt the same as the 'Four S' or something else?
 
Nice thing about Penzeys is that they list the ingredients in their spice / herb mixes, which facilitates making up your own mix if you have the ingredients.

That's exactly what I was thinking! The catalog, aside from my scribbling will become part of my cookbook collection. I think I will buy a couple of blends to taste them before I try to recreate them.

Thanks, again!

Thank You, Beth!

The soup bases are they very salty?
 
'I see you like the ginger. What do you use the mustard seeds for? What is the heat level on the Med Hot Chili Powder? Last question, Half-Sharp Paprika, what is that like?'

We use the ginger for baking and marinades. I like to make a mixture of Kikomann, ginger, and garlic powder as a dip for my potato pierogis.

I grind mustard seeds to make mustard sauce.

Medium hot chili powder is medium hot. I sometimes jazz it up by adding some hot chili powder and or cayenne.

Half sharp paprika has a little bite. I usually use 1/3 or 1/4 half sharp to 2/3 or 3/4 sweet paprika, mostly for chicken paprikash and in sour cream sauce for pot roast and venison stew. We use paprika for a thickening agent as well as for flavor.

We use Spanish smoked paprika much more sparingly, mostly for gambas al ajillo.
 
the soup base containers say they contain less salt than boullion cubes. I only use this stuff a teaspoon at a time, and it is hard for me to detect any sodium level. The first ingredient is cooked chicken or cooked beef.
 
Their base is the only item I have tried there that I have found better elsewhere. I use Minors bases. They are loaded with salt though.
