Oh, yes, that goes on... our barony has a "feast box" with some odds and 
ends of dry goods that feast cooks are supposed to use, including some 
ground spices.  I buy whole spices and use an electric grinder, so I 
never use that brick-dust-labelled-cinnamon.  I don't know why we bother 
with the whole wretched mess.
