I generally grind or chop my own since reading <em>Fast Food Nation</em> when it came out years ago. It finally made me understand how 1 cow can contaminate 1 million pounds of ground beef. Yes, Schilling is McCormick west of the Mississippi. Their premium line of herbs and spices ( black cap, if the packaging is the same) is quite good and worth the extra money, imo. For people who shop only in big chain supermarkets, it's their only option for things that aren't on the herb and spice greatest hits list. (Your nose will be soooo happy in Penzey's....)

Somehow, I expected TJ's to be above that sort of thing. I don't buy beef, anyway, but for those that do!!! Their cinnamon is from Madagascar, I think. I can never go back to Schilling or whatever after this. It is clearly superior. Nearest Penzey's is up the road a piece (2 hours) but next time I'm in Scottsdale, I'll go sniff around. .-= MusEditions´s last blog ..<a href="http://museditions.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/the-dark-time-el-dia-de-los-muertos/" rel="nofollow">The dark time: El día de los Muertos</a> =-.

I brought an unopened jar of Vietnamese with me, but when it's gone I'l remember this. Their spice prices are excellent, to boot. Did you know TJ's ground beef is included in the e.coli recall on the east coast? I wonder if the Nov flyer will mention it? I’ll have to try their cinnamon.

I've never bought it, as I don't really enjoy pumpkin thingys and don't make cake, but I have used other spices of theirs. I find their cinnamon particularly fine, very flavorful. .-= MusEditions´s last blog ..<a href="http://museditions.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/the-dark-time-el-dia-de-los-muertos/" rel="nofollow">The dark time: El día de los Muertos</a> =-.
