I don't know if it's a conspiracy, but for the life of me I can't find cumin seeds in any grocery store in town. Yeah you can find the ground ones, but I want whole seeds.
So, I figure before I'm completely out I might as well order some, and a few other things while I'm at it. Where's the best place to order spices?

Penzeys is the only place I'll shop for herbs and spices. There is a brick and mortar store near my daughter's home in Jax. It's an experience. At last count, I had 62 different ones.

My sentiments exactly, Sam.. and Damn! You lucky dog. I have to order all mine here! I've got about 30 different varieties of Penzey's, including some Indian spices from the last batch purchased. Haven't got around to doing any Indian dishes yet, though.

Con yeager. They specialize in butcher type stuff. Will sell consumer size though.

Con yeager. They specialize in butcher type stuff. Will sell consumer size though. i buy from them all the time. try the venison bologna. any time you order ask about bulk prices. bologna kits are almost half price when you buy a dozen at once.

All you Penzey's fans may want to take a look at what I just posted in this forum...might be a few of you want to look elsewhere after reading it.

Funny to see Whip's post the day my order arrived from Penzey's. Yeah, after perusing the catalog it was pretty clear the guy is an uber liberal. I try not to be petty about people's personal beliefs, even when they are petty.
Looking forward to making some mulled cider and wine and am glad to have a stock of cumin, coriander, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and the other spices I ordered as well.

It looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of cooking the next ~month between various events. I'm thinking I need to take some notes on the whisky thread as I'll need some downtime

It's all good Lott, to each his own. I'm just choosing to give my hard earned bucks to those I feel deserve it. That Summit Spice & Tea place up in your neck o' the woods looks like they've got some good stuff. Thinking about giving them a try. At any rate, looks like you've got some good stuff going on in the kitchen so enjoy! You got me going all Pavlov with the mulled cider and wine...dats good stuff. Tis the season!

It's all good. I think I'm just so done with politics after the election that I can't muster the energy to get spun up about one more idiot and his cry baby communist rantings. That said I know we must be extremely vigilant in the future as they won't rest.
It's funny as my wife gave me some grief for spending a bunch of money on spices, yet a few weeks back she spent a bunch of money on not a whole lot of tea from Summit Spice and Tea.

I have my first order inbound from them. Measuring spoons for gifts. They are long and narrow to fit inside small spice bottles. Very nice website.

Same here. I've got enough Penzey's spices to last a good while, but I will not be buying any more.

Don't know if it's the best, but I've ordered stuff from [b][color:#3333FF]My Spice Sage[/color][/b] when I can't find it locally and would have to drive to the City. Always been happy with their stuff..

If you use any volume, check out Butcher and Packer. I make several dozen pounds of sausage every year, after the hunting season. Been using this outfit for many years with complete satisfaction as the quality is always top notch.
Just today picked up 76# of pork shoulders to mix with the venison.
Have used Penzey's for small quantity spices and blends in the past, good stuff, but not particularly unique. Unlikely to buy from them again.
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.
