Nopardons strikes again! A cookery book of America through the ages manages, in its oh-so-politically-correct way to come up with Siracha! All the spices you mention and are in all the early 18th century cookbooks - including garlic. And vanilla was discovered by an American slave??
When it comes to food and things connected to food, I know far more than the idiot author of this ridiculous, stupid book! I should do; it is something I have been interested in all of my life.
How are the cookery classes going?
