Flavouring Luncheon Meat

When sprinkling on curry powder, turmeric or any other kind of powder flavouring into a bag of diced or punched luncheon meat I have read that it is best to freeze it overnight as it absorbs the powder better rather than just leaving in the bag overnight.

Is there any truth to this chaps. :Confused:

I've always fry mine. A little oil on a low heat then sprinkle in the spice of choice, add the meat the fry for 3/4 mins. I then bag the whole lot, oil and all.

It should be noted that this should be done on a low heat to prevent burning the spice and making it bitter.

Apparently so Mark, its when it defrost's that the flavour gets absorbed, I must admit I've used a couple of those glug/dips that are available, far easier to dip your pre-hooked meat in and cast out, saves smelly fingers as well. :Hat:
Apparently a quick dip in Marmite works. :secret:

Marmite used to be really thick dense solid stuff, now its almost like a liquid -- you can dip breadsticks in it.
However they do ( or did a few years ago ) still sell the original recipe Marmite in sothern African countries. Its made under licence in South Africa to the original recipe.

Yes Mark,
it's all in Archie Braddocks magic book of bait flavouring. A small book but worth finding if you are interested in alternative baits.

Wal.
