I mean, it depends on what I think I'll have to cook, but my primary versatile spices are probably: 1. Paprika (Sweet) 2. Paprika (Smoked) I think paprika is just the spice I reach the most for. Scrambled eggs? Add some paprika. Roasting veggies? Paprika. Making a sauce? Paprika. Can't go wrong with it. 3. Salt, (Not because I'm picky about salt, but because not having *any* will absolutely ruin most dishes, so I'm not risking it) 4. Cumin (Ultra-versatile, and with paprika can be made to make most dishes amazing, also combines well with the garlic powder) The first four are the ones I don't think I could really do without. If we really have no sources of an acid (lemon? Lime? Vinegar?) then I'd swap one of the paprikas for lime juice. 5. Garlic Powder (I prefer fresh garlic, but I'm assuming I'm going to be limited in what I can procure, and it works well for rubs), 6. Garam Masala (I know, I'll be crucified for not making my own, but the pre-mixed versions from my local indian grocery are a life-saver when i can't grind my own spice mix, and using it to make a daal or spicing up roasted veggies is just an easy dinner), 7. Red wine vinegar (Honestly, there's a variety in my pantry and i'd probably pick one depending travel constraints) I'm assuming I can secure a *reasonable* olive oil, because otherwise, I'd probably drop the Garam Masala for it, and just go slightly more mexican/european in the dish variety If I'm planning on making a lot of weekday meals, I'd either go Japanese or Chinese, and I think Japanese is easier to pack for, especially if I can secure some sugar and some ok sesame oil, though I can make without the sesame oil. It depends on if we're going to have access to relatively fresh ingredients though. 8. Sake 9. Soy Sauce 10. Mirin If I were going to make a bunch of chinese food, instead I'd do 5. Schezuan Peppercorns 6. Dried Chili Peppers 7. Chinkiang Vinegar 8. Shaoxing wine 9. Soy Sauce 10. Doubanjiang OR Fermented Black beans. Really depends on where I'm going, for how long, and who I'm planning on feeding.
