Our cupboards are full of stories. In this installment of What’s in Your Pantry, we talk about a 4,000 year old spice, modern medicine, Lewis Carroll’s famous quote about flamingos and mustard, and an invasive species that marked safe passage. When we pause to reflect, it’s somewhat a miracle that we have such great access to a whole world’s worth of spices. Some, like turmeric and mustard, have been a part of our diets for thousands of years and across a variety of food cultures.
