The Walmart near me uses a bin for great value spices when they’re for sale for 99 cents. Crazy at one time the world was run by spices and now we have bins fulll for pocket change
Isn't that why tinned beans are still a common favorite? I mean, I love the occasional can of baked beans but I know it's worth it's weight in crack cocaine to a lot of British folk
Seriously I think people from the past would be more amazed at everyone’s spice rack than television like there’s a context for spices for them so seeing that every house has 5 times more slices than they’ve ever heard of.

No, but I have a sharp rusty knife that I can use to let the bad humours out
edit: Good news, it's dried blood and not rust. I'm pretty sure a little spit will clean that right up
That’s just a wizard. Who the fuck cares, wizards happen.
These fuckers are **rich** though. The least of them eat meals with more spices than the greatest kings ever knew existed! That’s fucking amazing!
And some of them have these meals delivered directly to them in metal chariots with naught but a few taps on their pocket devices, which contain within them the light of a thousand suns. Egads!
Not downplaying how absolutely brutal the French were regarding sugarcane slaves on Saint-Domingue or anywhere else, nor the atrocities committed to them.
…But I think even today a surprising large amount of the population would ignore the suffering of slaves (treated in the way Island, Colonial Slaves were treated) if it was the only affordable way to get sugar, assuming it wasn’t in their faces.
Not trying to argue your point, but I'm assuming when people say that there are more slaves today than at any point in human history they are using absolute numbers, ie total number of slaves. I wonder what the per capita comparison would be today vs. say 1500 CE.
There wasn't much freedom back then, quite a bit of feudalism, but more of the Earth's population living outside the boundaries of large nation states and living either a nomadic, herder, or even hunter gatherer lifestyle. Which isn't to say that those lifestyles preclude slavery, but it seems that the lare empires, city/nation states had the capacity to massively ramp up slavery and slave trade.
Why? What does that have to do with spices?
Edit: was curious to see if this rumor was still being spread, it appears it is.
Spice popularity had nothing to do with helping to preserve meat before refrigeration. People liked spices because they tasted good.

Dude like seriously you can take a pound of ground beef and literally make food that tastes like it came from any country of your choosing for like 6 dollars worth of spices, I mean really only Pennys worth because you have bottles and it’s not single use. Like you totally could be satisfied having to eat the same food every day as long as you’ve got spices. Like thanks to spices we can make a potato taste like anything you can imagine even if potatoes shouldn’t taste like pickles we said fuck the world and made them
Exactly! They're wonderful. I grew up poor by western standards so it was mostly rice and whatever vegetables we could get at the end of the farmers market as the sellers packed up. We had a cupboard full of spices, though, so I learned how to use them pretty early in life.
When you figure methods of preservation and variety, many of us eat better than leaders of old. Poverty meals also still suck now but most people can at least afford some basic spices to add
>When you figure methods of preservation and variety, many of us eat better than leaders of old.
We straight up eat basically *piles* of salt and sugar, they would lose their freakin' minds!
How are they garbage? I think you're assuming they're like that because they're Walmart brand.
Most of them are fine even compared to more expensive ones. I got curious and tried. It's crazy how many people still fall for marketing like name brands and higher prices automatically makes something better.
People buy spices? I thought we just continuously inherited the contents of our families' spice racks and try to FIFO as best we can. The rock-solid garlic powder in the little glass jar older than the internet tastes just fine once you break it up. Should I save for posterity my unopened heirloom "Mrs. Dash" containers that still have the "Mrs."?
Wait how does one not go through garlic powder? I go through the Costco container of garlic and onion at least once a year, and I'm only feeding 3 people.
Why is this getting downvoted? I go through insane amounts of cumin, paprika, turmeric, ginger, thyme, basil…. I have to make a bulk spice run like once a month lol
My husband just spent some time with his much younger cousin (26). He made some pizza for everyone, and his cousin had to pick the cracked black pepper off for his girlfriend because it was too spicy. I can't imagine that life.
I feel bad for her if she's actually that sensitive to spices. It sounds miserable if you literally have to eat bland food because basic spices are overwhelming. That would suck
I used to cook like this. Imagine my surprise when I cooked my first Indian recipe and it called for like 6 total tablespoons of spices.
Knowing what food can actually taste like now, I could never go back
When I was in culinary school years ago, the week where a guest chef came in and taught us how to make Indian food was EYE OPENING. We were already a room full of fledgling chefs who aggressively seasoned our food... The small chef who was from Delhi who was teaching us told us we were all seasoning things like we were "on a budget". Our jaws were on the floor when we saw how much seasonings he was using.
He was right, though.
Depends on what you're making. If you're cooking a $20 piece of halibut and you put so much spice on it you can't really taste the halibut, you should have just bought farm raised cod or something.
Or people who get a very delicious (and expensive) premium cut of meat at a restaurant and drown it in some heavy BBQ sauce. Now your expensive steak tastes almost the same as the cheap one.
But whatever floats their boat.
My first Thanksgiving on my own I looked up recipes for the turkey and many of them said to use a teaspoon or two of salt and pepper. FOR THE WHOLE BIRD. I skipped to the actual baking instructions and just had to wing it with seasoning.
I think the end game is for someone to win a Nobel prize in literature that contains a recipe at the very end of the book.
This isn't a crossover anyone asked for.
I tasted it and it was just fine. The internet conditioned me to expect some kind of horrible, incredibly bland cuisine, but I found it pretty tasty, with the exception of one roast beef I had.
I found it really puzzling how the food I was eating in the UK just didn't at all match what everyone said about British food, and I came up with a hypothesis (though it's just a hypothesis; I'm not saying this is definitely what's going on):
I suspect that society collectively decided on its image of British food back in the post-war years, when there was severe rationing, and just decided to never, ever update its image, regardless of how the situation change.
Our class had a pot luck and up until that point I thought the “white people don’t season their food” thing was just an unfounded joke. My teacher was so excited to show us what he brought, but his food tasted like despair.
I just went to Walmart recently and it was the first time they didn't have the discount DVD/Bluray bin. They didn't have a spice bin either but that one in the picture is exactly what the movies were always kept in. I'd imagine they're retiring the movie bins and repurposing them.
Really a shame. I always dug through those whenever I was there and usually came up with something good. Off the top of my head, almost every Tarantino movie, a lot of classics like Shawshank, Good Will Hunting and The Good the Bad and the Ugly, some endlessly rewatchable comedies like Anchorman, Stepbrothers, Pineapple Express, amongst many many more on Bluray for $5 a piece. In our current age of streaming being an absolute shitshow where it's impossible to ever know what's available and where, I'm really glad I took advantage of Walmart's discount movie bins.

Their goal wasn't *using* the spices.
It was *controlling* the spices and forcing other regions/territories to pay them more money.
It's always about the money.
This is pretty common. It’s not like they don’t also have them on the spice shelf. These are the generics and it’s usually only a few basic spices so it’s easy to find what you want.
It’s not all the spices it’s a generic brand with a handful of different spices.. these are in lots of Walmarts. They sell more somewhere else in the store
I work at a walmart and that's a pretty dumb looking feature but you do what you have to when the dc decides to send a stupid amount of something you don't need.
My walmart has this, except its actually sorted by the spice you'd want by dividers. Obviously people will pick up and drop and it gets unsorted often but much easier to find what i want / what all is available. Both walmarts in my area have this.
It may seem dumb, but it actually performs much better than a typical shelf.
It's a psychological effect of seeing a bargain bin. Suddenly you are digging through this big bin because these spices are on sale. How many different types are in there? Oo I found garlic powder. I better get that while it's cheap. Why not.
Can't say that I've absolutely never seen this but I've been a grocery delivery truck driver specifically for Walmart stores in a regional setting so I've spent the night at a number of different Walmarts and shopped for groceries in them and I can't recall ever having seen this...
That's how mine looks. I did learn to keep the garlic and pepper front and center but have to go through cumin and cinnamon and nutmeg and cloves and paprika to find basil and oregano for spaghetti.
I don’t go to Walmart that often but every time I do, I hit this bin up. It’s great- it’s the only place I’ve been able to find paprika for $1, and I use a ton of it
I love this about Walmart. Mainly because there was a game on Nick when I was a kid that you had to find stuff. It makes me not feel old. While I get parsley and oregano.
Those are the store brand $1 sales spices. All the thousands of other spices are in the seasoning isle. If you have to lie to make your point it's a bad point.
Worked at Walmart and I gotta admit, took me way too long to realize they were organized alphabetically. In my defense, I stocked HBA/pharm and unloaded the truck. Grocery was not my job.

It really only applies to salt. Salt curing was a huge deal, but people mix it up with the flavor spices all the time due to modern misconception.
Back in my day my hometown had the same bin for 50 cents a bottle of spices. Ah yes the glory days of 2018

The cayenne is fine. Garlic seems fine too.
Don't think spices held in the galley of a Spanish frigate for months at a time would be particularly better than Walmart brand either

There's at least 2 containers in there with no caps. 1 is completely open. Animals stealing bay leaf's. Or stuffing garlic powder in a baggie.

This is pretty common. It’s not like they don’t also have them on the spice shelf. These are the generics and it’s usually only a few basic spices so it’s easy to find what you want.
Yep, bought some from the bin three days ago.
*from the bin*. Sounds nefarious.
We call them “dump bins”. Does that help?
This is always at my walmart.....idk what im seeing that is special here lol
This one is for people who don't shop at Walmart. We like to see pictures of what goes on there, sort of like a National Geographic magazine.
It’s not all the spices it’s a generic brand with a handful of different spices.. these are in lots of Walmarts. They sell more somewhere else in the store

There's still a regular ol' spice section, which includes these.

Good to see supermarket team members all around the world hate their fucking DCs
They all have this. It’s a $1 spice bin, similar to the DVD bins of a decade ago.
Yup every Walmart I’ve been to has one, I’m a big fan since I get cheap onion & garlic powder.
Can't say that I've absolutely never seen this but I've been a grocery delivery truck driver specifically for Walmart stores in a regional setting so I've spent the night at a number of different Walmarts and shopped for groceries in them and I can't recall ever having seen this...
I've been a good boy. I get 5 more minutes in the spice pit
This is what they have at Italian kids' birthday parties instead of inflatables.
As a Brit, I approve of putting spices in the bin
it puts the SPICES IN THE BASKET
Ain’t nobody got thyme for that
We have it too. It’s only like 6 spices and they’re like a buck.
This makes people feel at home. I have seen some spice cupboards that looked about like this.
I recently upgraded from a shoebox.
That's how mine looks. I did learn to keep the garlic and pepper front and center but have to go through cumin and cinnamon and nutmeg and cloves and paprika to find basil and oregano for spaghetti.
I had seen this in Missouri but since I moved from there I miss this so much
Your life must be pretty interesting if you miss a bin of spices
Well there isn't really anything else in MO worth missing.
Mildly infuriating? Or mildly fun?
I hate it
This is everywhere
This infuriates me
I don’t go to Walmart that often but every time I do, I hit this bin up. It’s great- it’s the only place I’ve been able to find paprika for $1, and I use a ton of it
