I have one recipe that I make regularly that asks for marjoram. For years I had an old, square, metal can of it which honestly, if you were to check the expiration date, (I didn’t) would likely be way past fresh.

For months I’ve known I was low, and for the past several trips to the store I’ve been checking the spice aisle with no luck. Now I’m totally out.

Marjoram has been on my grocery list the majority of 2024.

Last time I made the recipe I threw in some Italian herbs as a replacement. Back in the day there was no such thing as Italian herbs, but I figured maybe it was close enough. To be honest I couldn’t tell the difference.

So now I wonder…what is marjoram anyway? And why can’t I find it?

Edit: I can get it on Amazon! Of COURSE! Still, this begs the question, why isn’t it in my grocery store?
