I just stated that no Italian would recognize the USAn "Italian herb-mix"

A) It's Prussian
B) As an Austrian, I'm definitely not A)
C) The rest of the world has other spice mixes.

Not really.
Use your mixes and stay safe and sound in the belief that the
rest of the world uses them (USAn flavour), too.
