This is a company many people on this ng have favored for years. That is
hardly a whim, my friend. Are you sure you know the meaning of
capriciousness?

God knows, and so do I, since they clearly state what is in each hand
blended mixture of spices.

Then do so. I don't recall anyone ordering you to purchase spices from
Penzeys...did they?

A hand blended mix of spices that I would mix anyway is hardly akin to
canned soup. They are not any less fresh or high quality if they are in one
jar or several.

Why do you want others to convince you? For me personally, and I'm sure for
most people out there, I can honestly tell you, I wouldn't give a hoot if
you never purchased a thing from Penzeys. It would be your loss, as far as I
can tell.
