What can I replace this with? Alternatives and substitutions.

I need help! I need help with my hangover fix for tomorrow! Neuwwwwwwwddddddles! i need nooooooodles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cheaper than a skanky pot noodle with MSG :money:

(zippychick would like to apologise to the pot noodle people explicitly, but preservatives and MSG are simply not for me. This is my opinion and not that of MSE. I'm so sorry ):o

Hi Folks

I was going to cook a pork chop and mushroom recipe tonight but other half couldn't find porcini in the supermarket, what can I use instead or can I just leave them out?

I like to use chestnut mushrooms.

Porcini mushrooms are usually dried. Did hubby look in the right place?

LOL

He says he asked where they were, but he's been known to lie before - lol - as a result the meal was a disgusting, so I'm blaming him - naturally - lol

The large field mushrooms usually have good flavour or the smaller chestnut mushrooms. otherwise you can usually find packs of dried mushrooms in the Asian foods section (but to be honest I cant be arrised with them - too much faff! I just use the largest mushrooms I can find as the larger the mushroom the better the flavour!)

Sorry your dinner was a disaster. As this has dropped down the board ive merged it with our replacement thread

I have a recipe for lamb cutlets and I forgot to buy Allspice when I was at the shops. Is there anything I could use in place of it?

Thanks!

Do you have any mace or mixed spices to use instead?

I would probably use nutmeg. Maybe a little less than the recipe calls for allspice. X

I think if you google it, it will give you a recipe of how to make it.

Sorry, it must be mixed spice you can get a recipe for. I think cloves can be a substitute

Right, have now googled and found this.

1 teaspoon ground allspice = 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
