Not because of stinginess, but because they are not easy to find where I live. Like celery seeds. Or blond mustard seeds (I just bought a batch of dark ones). So I had to taste them. And to wash away the taste what is better than good old friend oolong? It worked.
I am short on Macis: no big deal as I have plenty of nuts, and powdered Clove. No Cumin  . Will I be able to get it here? Eh. |
Please don't make me clean out the spice drawer.
I know I've got a few items in there that are well beyond their potency date.
I'd be surprised if you couldn't get cumin. Are you in Italy? If so, you could always head over to Turkey or Morocco for some spice-tastic adventures.
