One Need to Understand the Vials were 1985 Commemorative Gift items and 2 Sets were made


So when they made the 2 Sets who undertook releasing the Secret 11 Herbs and Spices Recipe and ensured that the Recipe Did not leak ?

McCormick's allegedly filled the Vials ? Is that True ?

I still Question ONE aspect of BS from NEW AGE " They say When They open the File cabinet the Aroma of Spice is so Intoxicating over powering?

How can a acrylic sealed 11 Test tube enclosed case emit Aroma ? Do You get over powdered when You Go to a Grocery store standing Next to sealed jars of Spices

I was reading an article yesterday about how CHS developed his recipe. 99X, according to this article, was the basic KFC recipe, but without the aromatics. Supposedly that is what the X meant, without.

KFC said that the Settles recipe, although numbering 11, was missing 5 or 6 "Spices". The Settles found their recipe in the same manner that Ledington found his, which also numbered 11, but without aromatics. The same?

During the 70s, KFC became peppery and salty, which was unlike the 50s and 60s. Were aromatics dropped, even in 99X, which was commissioned by CHS?

I'm wondering if the aromatics weren't just for the brine used to flavor the meat. This would explain the msg, salt and chemical marinade later used by KFC, and would explain why the meat seemed to lose it's flavor. Remember Cartman eating all of the KFC skin before anybody else could eat?

Maybe some of the aromatics went into the breading, and some were used in the brine. This would verify the comments from that one fellow who said the flour was seasoned with one bag, and the chicken was brined with another bag.

Grace's, Lee's Famous Recipe, Marion Kay and CHS (Claudia's chicken) were all sued by KFC. I find it difficult to believe that any of them survived these legal challenges with the complete original recipe intact.

Willie it also would be if you believe that White Pepper was in the Original Recipe ?

Which item is White Pepper in the Vials ?

Some have challenged a Idea that 99x was where White Pepper was Introduced ? As there was issue getting Tellicherry Pepper ?

Also the KFC Bulletin showed that KFC NEW AGE was working on the Pepper Issue and found a solution. Which is the Same time White Pepper appeared in Print on the KFC Bags as a Ingredient.

There was a time period when Pepper was short world wide due to Drought in Many Countries where Pepper was Grown and the Import amounts to the USA also reflected the same Low amount of the Black Pepper.

It's more likely that our memories are about as reliable as our taste buds.  The latter for which may find it rather hard to distinguish between herb and spice levels which vary by up to 30% in quantity by weight within recipes.  (This latter being why Grandma never measured, but always made fantastic meals)
