He’s like a future kiosk robot chilling in the woods willing to accompany you and tell you about the surrounding flora.

I was so glad to see the visual aids . I don't think I would have understood what ketchup was without seeing it with my own eyes squirted onto that plate . Brilliant technical production . I assume he has an uproariously funny blooper/out-take collection as well..

we have this plant at home but we never use it .. coz we still prefer Garam Masala's aroma.. but if it's berry is good to prevent shoe smell then I think I'll start collecting the berries

This is actually kind of upsetting as every time I've bought allspice it says the ingredients on the back are cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. So, I guess I've never actually had allspice. That's kinda messed up.

Always buy only the whole spice and grind it yourself. Anytime you buy a powdered spice most of the essence has already evaporated.

I made the mistake once of buying McCormick's "Pepper Medley" once (I was expecting "Pepper Melange, which is just a mix of 3 different peppercorns). Like Columbus, they also mistook it for a peppercorn and put it in the "pepper" mix. I can't say it was bad, but it was a horrible thing to use when one is expecting pepper.
