Things it is very wise to remember in the kitchen:

Seaweed gomasio is in the big cylindrical jar. Ras al hanout for coffee is in the little cylindrical jar.

Under no circumstances of which I am currently aware is it okay to mistakenly put one of them into a substance for which I had intended the other!



(seriously, the gravy was not improved at all, and thankfully I have stopped myself before adulterating my coffee with seaweed and sesame seeds so far...)

I keep meaning to ask you this, and then forgetting until inconvenient moments i.e. when I'm in the midst of work. Ras al hanout in coffee? I am intrigued! I've never heard of that going in coffee before. On popcorn, yes, and I so need to try that. I'm given to understand that it's one of those spice blends that everyone and their grandmother does just a little differently.

Also, *giggles*. I don't imagine sesame seeds in coffee would be too awful, but seaweed... ack!

The version I use is a blend from Soluna Garden Farms. Apparently, since the original name just means 'head of the shop' and represents the assortment of the Best and Most Totally Awesome spices a given seller or kitchen would have for use, they took it upon themselves to blend up a sweeter version for use in coffee. Theirs has nutmeg, ginger, sesame seeds, cardamom, rosebuds, anise, cloves, cinnamon, fennel, galangal, pink peppercorns, allspice, lavender, and mace.

I am assuming the sesame seeds were ground up for this. I have never seen one in my use of the jar so far.

Ooooooh! You haven't got a link, have you? I could go a-searching, admittedly, but... That sounds fantastic!

Edited to add: Found it. Rats, they're sold out! Hopefully they'll restock...
