SC - big spice question

[LYN M PARKINSON]

>> All of these ingredients have a given, finite amount of the stuff that
gives them their flavor; spices just have more per unit, which is why
they're used to flavor other foods. That doesn't make them immune to the
laws of physics.<<

Fortunately, I don't know pysics.  All I know is that I can put less
sugar in a pot of tea, and get satisfactory sweetening, than I can by
putting the number of teaspoons of sugar in that would equal the amount
in separate cups from the same pot.  Works for casseroles and stews and
soups, too, with other spices/flavorings.  What you say makes sense, but
MMMV.
