Who would have thought anything good would ever come out of Arkansas? And yet here it is - the world's best seasoning combination: Cavender's All Purpose Greek Seasoning.
The Mister was in Florida and tasted this on a salad that was served to him. When he complimented the flavor, his host gave him a shaker to take back home. On the back was a phone number and a P.O. box number in Arkansas, so we called up and then sent a check to the company address for 6 containers.
Since then, we've been reordering on a regular basis. I hear they are in some superstores now, but I've never seen it around here. If you see it, pick it up for yourself because it is unequivocally the very best tasting seasoning mix that I know.
It's a mix of spices, herbs and some yummy MSG (does not contain lavender flowers). We use most of our stash on salads: oil, lime juice, Cavender's and some extra dried oregano. It goes equally well on any vegetable, in dips and sauces, on meats and eggs. The website where you can order some also has some interesting recipes, including this one:
* 4 cups Bisquick
* 1 tbsp. sugar
* 1 tbsp. Cavender's Greek Seasoning
* 1 can of beer
Consistency of dough depends on beer quantity. If too thin, add 1/2 cup more of Bisquick. Roll out dough and cut into bisquit rounds and bake at high temperature.
We put in a bit more seasoning and some extra dried oregano. It makes one tasty biscuit and stands up to any hearty stew or soup.
Cavender's All Purpose Greek Seasoning - get some. You won't be sorry.
Hi,
I am residing in Ireland and am not able to live without this delicious all purpose seasoning. This seasoning is no where available in Ireland. I wonder if its possible to order some through you.

No, I don't sell the stuff. If you are in the USA, you can use the order form on the Cavender's website:

Hi, to whom it may concern,
As you can see in my earlier comment dated 26 April, 2005. I got no reply and am still empty handed with this delicious spices. Hope one of you will be able to help me to get my kitchen stocked up on time for Xmas.
Looking forward to a favourable reply

Brian,
I live in Washington D.C. and stumbled across the seasoning myself and have been looking all over to buy more. With no luck. However, I just found the website that it can be ordered from.......www.cavendersseasoning.com/order. Print out the order from, fill out and mail with money order or check to Jane's Kitchen. P.O. Box 2272, Harrison, Arkansas 72602.
Happy Seasoning!

So here I am, about to start testing recipes to add to my collection for my personal chef biz, and the very first recipe I look at calls for this stuff.
Well, of course, I have never heard of such a thing, and it isn't in the supermarket, so I hit Google and YOU, of all people, are Hit #4 for that search term.
This, of course, does me no good this afternoon, so I will have to make do with the likely fresh substitutes (rosemary, thyme, oregano, etc.), but knowing this product has the Mr. Sami Vote Of Approval makes me far more likely to order some.

It's the best seasoning in the world. No wonder the Greeks conquered the world.
