Wanted Your favorite and best suggestions for spice/blends and sauces for game, etc.?

[Gorge Drifter]

Rabbit, etc.

Do you have any simple suggestions for dry spice/blends and sauces that you like or something different than the usual? I suppose one smaller set can be for light carry on outings to dress up the mundane. Another for home use, where you might have more options.

Maybe I should get more sophisticated than basic Salt, Pepper and Ramen soup packets, by getting a few dedicated spice carriers for outings.

Dry
Cyan Pepper
Chili Powder
Sweet Basil
Mexican Oregano (this tastes completely different, like what's probably used in Round Table Pizza sauce with Ground Fennel Seed)
Turmeric
Indian Curry Powders,(many types to choose from Hot to Mild)
Garlic Salt and Powder (both taste terrible, fresh is better)
Salts (Maybe Sea and Kosher are good)
Cajun spice bend

Liquid/Sauce
Louisiana type
Mexican (usually the cheapest red sauces that are on sale)
Olive Oil

Can you 5 Star Celebrity Top Chefs out there recommend anything else? Hope I've posted in the right section. Thanks

Easiest one I know:


Lemon Pepper + salt + hint o' garlic.

Add to cornmeal for a beauty of a fish frying coating.




side note: I'm getting hungry reading this thread!!!

Nuge was on Bob and Tom last week talking about using Vernors for a marinade. He suggested adding garlic salt and chives and soaking it overnight.

We tried it out this weekend on some backstraps and it was outstanding.

I just lightly covered the chops w/ garlic salt on all sides, chopped up a handful of chives and covered it all w/ the ginger ale. Soaked it over night/the next day and did them on the grill to medium rare. My wife even loved it (and she hates drinking Vernors!). It was a nice change-up from the usual Italian dressing I normally use.
