Looking for a King of The Meats dupe

Has anyone else had the McCormick One Piece Collab, ive made it through my King of The Meats faster then i did the others of the collab, so good on burgers and ive put it on short ribs on the grill, great on beef, so idk about buying the whole bundle for more of the king, if theres something similar id love to hear it!

That's basically chili lime seasoning with garam masala. Go get a bottle of each and start by combining them 2:1 chili-lime:garam masala. If its not quite right, recalibrate the ratio, but I'm sure those are the only ingredients you'll need.

(Edit) try to find a garam masala that doesn't have cinnamon and you'll have the right blend.

The funny thing is that google ai doesnt know what to do for natural flavors either. Ingredients are ordered by quantity in the product. Natural flavors being last, they are hardly adding anything.

Ai overview for this is basically just listing the ingredients from the back of the bottle lmao.

I wouldn't say "natural flavors" add nothing. If it's an oleoresin it just takes very little to achieve the intended flavor or color.

It doesn't know how to taste, it literally never has before. Asking AI to make you a dupe is not going to get even close to what the average capable human can do with just the ingredient list and 2-3 iterations.

Thanks. I'm going to start making Coca Cola at home now.

Think of the savings!

It was to point out the foolishness of your assertion that the person should just DIY the mix.

While they do list some ingredients, McCormick doesn't give the recipe right on the product, just like Coke.

Are YOU serious? The ratios aren't listed. Spices "including" allows for additions outside of those listed. And don't get me started on the loose labeling standards in the US that allow all sorts of ingredients to be covered by simply saying "natural ingredients."

To 1:1 this limited recipe mix isn't nearly as easy as you imply. Yes, making a spice blend isn't the hardest thing. Making Cola isn't either. But making actual Coke is a completely different ask.

I thought you were being a bit trollish by saying just DIY but you've proven just how unserious of a person you really are.

England and the UK also have loose labeling laws in terms of spices just FYI
