Do you utilize things like garlic salt, lemon pepper, seasoned salt, even purchased rubs or do you "pooh pooh" them and those that use them and do everything from scratch? (which could include purchasing all the spices to make your own rib rub or batch of cajun spice) Or are you a strictly "I grow, roast/dry/harvest/find, and grind my own ___________ (fill in the blank) to make my spice blends and rest of you are neanderthals and should not consider yourself worthy of the term foodie." (said tongue in cheek as I look for that remaining flavor of shrimp and crab chowder)

I tend to do a mixture. I make my own rubs by always keeping things like chili powder, cayenne, paprika, oregano etc. on hand but I do use seasoned salt (especially on buttered popcorn), lemon pepper, and bunch of others.

What about you?
