Marczyk Fine Foods is holding an old spice contest, and no, it doesn’t involve the irritatingly buff shirtless guy on the white horse.
This is a search for ancient condiments: dusty tins of Colman’s mustard lurking in your cupboard, that decade-old jar of tarragon flakes in your rack, the container of dried cilantro that you never opened because, well, why would you when you can use the fresh stuff?
Here’s the deal. As a promo for its new spice purveyor, Spicely Organic Spices, Marczyk is holding a spice contest, to wit: Bring your entries in their original containers with a “use by” or “sell by” date clearly marked. (Oh, and there must be some seasonings still in the container.) The deadline is Jan. 7, with a Jan. 9 announcement of the winner who brought the oldest spice.
The winner gets a pack of 12 spices from Spicely Organics, plus a $10 gift card. So off to the cupboard, and may the stalest spice win. Marczyk has locations at 770 E. 17th Ave. and 5100 E. Colfax Ave.
