for my cupboard while I was away.
AKA the devils toenail clippings.

Is there any reason not to bin them?

They go well in spaghetti bolognaise.

Good when camping unless you camp next to herb gardens.
Good when self catering. Unless you have staff to do your shopping/cooking.
Good when doing that foil and fish oven baking thing.
Otherwise what a bitch MIL is.

Call 101 for advice.

Dried herbs are perfectly edible. What's in the mix? Sort of Mediterranean flavours?

Fairylea · 23/08/2014 22:48

What's wrong with them? Hmm

Herb snob.

SirChenjin · 23/08/2014 22:50

Bin them, and go and buy your own bloody herbs.

pebblestack · 23/08/2014 22:50

She clearly thought your larder was lacking

"What no herbes de provence?" Shock

Give them back to her?

ScrambledSmegs · 23/08/2014 23:01

Nothing wrong with herbes de Provence. Very useful. My kids like it on pizza.

ShatnersBassoon · 23/08/2014 23:05

Don't you lot know that dried herbs are for poor uncultured people with no taste?

zoemaguire · 23/08/2014 23:11

I'm a GREAT cook, a massive food snob, and I used dried mixed herbs! Don't sprinkle them on your porridge, but in a stew, why not?

On toasted cheese. Dried herbs are more potent is that why you don't like Confused

HotPinkWeaselWearingLederhosen · 23/08/2014 23:25

Devils toenail? Are you not very good at cooking? They add flavour not texture.

pictish · 23/08/2014 23:25
