Thanks a bunch!
My brother was married to a spanish girl many years ago. I wish she was still here lol.

I thought that with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) everything had to be marked in Spanish and English and in some areas even French.
It makes me so angry when trying to follow directions or read a manual I have to read around all these different languages to accomplish what I need to do.
I'm thinking a place that sells herbs and such not in English too, may be selling ingredients rather old or illegally.

Ooops, my Oregano jar is written all in English.

On PBS here, Rick Bayless has a show called Mexico, One Plate At A Time. I don't know if you have ever seen it or not.
Essential Ingredients - Rick Bayless | Frontera
I'm sure that if you check his TV site you can check out his recipes and see his description of the ingredients. He goes into detail on his show regarding different peppers, corn flours, spices and such. I hope that there is some kind of information there to help you.

We never had a mexican community here until about five years ago. Smithfiled hams brought them in to work at the plant. Tons of them were here illegally. Many of the men married woman here and stayed. Jon's Dad worked at the plant and they tried to tell him and the others they had to learn spanish and they all refused. Jon's Dad was in maintenance. He told us he spent a month making boxes for them to stand on so they could reach the line to work. My ex sister in law was really short to.
My FIL says if he went to Mexico to work he would learn their language. They came here so let them learn english. It is so funny when I go to the regular grocery store here in town and there are some of them in the store. They are speaking spanish so loud and fast you can hear them on the other side of the store.
The woman behind the counter was very unfriendly at that Mexican shop. She looked at me like I didnt belong in there. I didnt know how to say Im a foodie browsing spices in spanish lol.
