Thanks for the breakdown. I no nothing about marjoram.
You notice much difference between brands of herbs?
yes and no on the brand difference. Penzey is the best, but after the diatribe by their owner last year about Conservative White folks, I have not bought any more of theirs. The major grocery store brands are probably about the same in quality. Freshness is the key. Off brands, store brands, and bargains at TJ Maxx are to be avoided. They just don't sell fast enough to be fresh.
The Marjoram is important. The ones I use are based on many years of fooling around with herbs, both fresh and dry. The combination of flavors in my mix compliments a mostly Mediterranean palate.
