Oregano ?!?! . . . .

Glancing quickly at this image it could be mistaken for something else rather than Oregano a.k.a ΡΙΓΑΝΗ. There is a common known story that I have lived through a few years back and which I am sure many of us who have traveled to Greece have experienced on their own. At Toronto Pearson airport upon my arrival I was one of many pulled aside and was the lucky winner of a search... Having brought back many things ( that I shouldn't have ) Cretan Oregano was one of the items that I probably should have left behind. Wrapped in a similar package, it could be easily mistaken for weed... I couldn't stress enough the fact that it was a spice and not something to be smoked. A few days ago with my sister Sophia and her friend we visited a market and although accustomed to seeing such a thing, i fell for the typical stereotype and thought that it was weed...  #joysofbeinggreek
