Trove of spices from around the world on sunken fifteenth-century Norse ship
Every time I hear about treasure troves of spices, I wonder, are they really that good and valuable? I mean we have the same spices today, we don't particularly use a lot of them and even when we do, the taste is better, but not extremely so. Perhaps if you just had salt to season your food, anything that'd make it taste better would be valuable.
