Whether you're going to Scarborough Fair or San Francisco, now you don't need to bring your own parsley, sage, rosemary, or thyme. Mobile State of Grace's Mobile Foodie Survival Kit ($30; www.flight001.com) is filled with 17 herbs and spices—cayenne, cinnamon, curry powder, dill, ginger, even hot sauce—in a 6 1/2-by-5 1/2-inch tin case. Folk singers not included.
