K.F.C. Dropped the Ball

I don't deep fry that often, so when I do, I like the full aroma hit of freshly ground herbs and spices directly added to the flour, letting the flour catch and absorb the release directly and immediately. Indians always freshly grind their spices for each dish. They know what they're doing. This is an advantage we have in home settings over commercial restaurants or chains I would say.  

East Frisian when you make your recipes with lowest quality supermarket items How much extra love do you add into the meal preparation to make it robustness. Do you measure the Love to a 100Lbs recipe for accuracy?

I actually believe that Aldi sells high quality spices at great prices.

East Frisian I support your thoughts regarding the Origin of the spices. I will agree NOW it in 2023 region of souse can become a issue BUT more with Quality.

I have this Principle which we have CAREFULLY observed Countries who still Hand Pick and forage the crops typically are very specific with High quality Spices as they are hand picked and Open air dried. (NOW if that Area is NOT been corrupt into adding fillers which may happen after the crops have been grown and sourced) HIGH QUALITY is typically received over many commercial quick grow operations ?

Now if you Understand Packaging and Sales Distribution ALL Packaging companies will have a 15% overage rule for BULK orders Highest quality or lowest Quality they typically run a 15% overage. if the Order is Filled to 100% quality control standard that can leave potentially 150Lbs of spice to utilize. The packing company Typically will Run orders for Dollar stores and other 3rd Party company Private label packing from the Overage 15% because they typically can NOT reintroduce it to the Bulk Bins Due to contamination SO the Dollar store or Private label May get the HIGHEST quality Product for a cost recovery to the Packing Plant ONLY BUT the END customer gets a Great Deal.

as a Prime Example Levi's Jeans and Wrangler Jeans Higher End Label Brands which are a wholesale cost to many Companies are $18.00 wholesale the Overage stock items sold to other Private Companies who want small quantities Get the Same Jean Minus the Branded Levi or Wrangler Name for $7.00

Same Principle applies to Almost all Processing Plants ETC.

End Point If you find a High Quality at a $ store or other location stock up while you get a Great Deal.

in the 1930 when Companies were importing the spics they Indicated region of source on the Cans two reason to show which were from other regions and TAX was extra on imported items IRS made it a easy way to ensure proper Tax was Paid in relevant to the amount of Saleable item from Out of country, easy distinguishable for TAX. Inventory of cans packaged had to weight imported amount.

NOW with Different shipping and lower Tax issue for 2023 NO ONE CARES like the 1930's ALL marketing is Profit Based different business then 1930's Over all the items in the 1930's WERE WAY higher quality then 2023.

example in Photo below Item ordered was Grown in Indonesia package in Germany sent to Canada Import based on Origin of Packaging Germany even though the item was Grown in Indonesia ?
