Sexton does have 4 herbs. I would love to have all 4 but the vials don't show that.

Yves hated the vials. To me, vial A could easily be oregano. Most say it is coriander, but if you have the "best" photo, the substance looks stringy. I've grown and bought tons of coriander which I later ground. Not one time did the resulting grind look stringy.

I've grown and bought tons of coriander which I later ground. Not one time did the resulting grind look stringy. Vial A is nothing like oregano. When I first posted the vials at TCK's forum all those years ago, I had no idea how controversial they would be. Mark from TCK asked contributors to help pay for a stock enlarged picture from the original photographer. I believe there was some money exchanged but did not know of any results it brought. Ellsworth went ballistic. His argument was that it should all be for free. Today do I think the vials represent the 11 herbs and spices that CHS used? Yes.

Right. I'm not saying you can't find it somewhere. I'm saying that it's not in the vial.

Since you are so sure, then please show me a photo of coriander that looks similar. So you have compared the photos, and the substance that was placed in the vial somewhere around 1985 looks nothing like the photo I provided? Show me a photo of coriander with strings.

If it's a coarse grind it would definitely look the part. All those grinds in the vial photo do not look like commercial jar grinds like from the store. They look like they were all hand ground - especially the red pepper/paprika looking substance in vial J.

Not trying to poo poo your photo Willy but the tan-ishness of that photo is due to lighting. If you google ground oregano you will find a wide assortment of different tinted versions from yellow to neon green. You can't depend on any online photo that you haven't yourself took and color corrected.

I didn't say anything about strings.

That vial ‘J’ has always looked red coloured to me too, that’s in the various high resolution photos I’ve seen. There also appears to be some kind of flat chilli-like seeds in the mix in close-up, but some folk disagree of course and I respect that we may all see some things differently: Click to enlarge image

Ken vial J is reddish in color more than vial H. We've said for a decade or more that vial J is some form of red pepper. There was a time when Mark from TCK said it was vanilla bean. Ouch!

BullS**t. Censor that. Everything that has been posted could apply to anything, including coriander. The argument is for KFC propaganda. Good luck.

Where does Glen's final recipe put the vials? I clearly see only 3 green herbs. Can anyone match them now? Here's the latest of my vial matching. The only way I can reconcile them with Glen's new information is by bulking the 3 black pepper grinds as one vial (which they should be) for the purposes of the vials. White pepper would be it's own vial and garlic and paprika would be kfc corp add-ons for rounded out flavor and color in a commercialized product. Maybe the kfc corp did this on purpose to include their two items (outlined in my photo). I took the liberty of adding 2WhlWizrd's theory of the darkened garlic test and applied it to my vial C. It's worth a glance at least. Reconciled Vials by douglas adcock, on Flickr

questfor11 I think you are very close. Why autoclave oven for garlic only? I coarse ground tellicherry pepper today and it's an exact match for vial K. It's not white and black pepper in vial K but just coarse tellicherry pepper. Vial H doesn't look anything like marjoram. I wish it did so that all 4 herbs in Sexton poultry seasoning would be present:

Coriander Allspice Ginger Thyme Marjoram Sage Savory Black Pepper
