Oldest spice jar is something covered in grime and unknown dusts,
I think it's nutmeg but I may be wrong as half the label came off a while ago. Holding onto it so I can get it appraised someday on Antiques Roadshow.
U don t take appropriate care of your senior spice jars!
@OmSigDAVID,
Well I haven't evicted it or sent it to the rest bin for old spices yet. How much more can I be expected to do for it seeing as how it's never given me any mealtime help?
@Sturgis,
It shud have a
protective shield
against grime and unknown dusts.
@OmSigDAVID,
Hey, I ain't made of money! If it wants those things it needs to head out and get a job!

I have many spices that are about 45 years old. They're not on a wrack. They're in a cabinet. That's where I keep the spices and herbs that don't fit on the wrack.
I've got room. Why should I throw them out. The minute they're gone, I'll need one. We all know that.
Hold on to them!! They are now classic antiques ....along with my nutmeg.
@Chumly,
Funniest thing I've heard in a while...Chuckles!!
Welcome to a2k, davidlane.
I still have some real saffron, now can't remember why I've not used it, except that it's in the bottom third of roll away cart and I forget about it. It's probably Poor Old Saffron by now.
You have re-started a moderately old thread, for which I'm very glad. I'm going to save it on my desk top, as I liked a bunch of ideas on it and want to add them to my recipe files.
Meantime, I dearly miss Lordyaswas and JoeNation posting.
