great spice combination
use this constantly on fish, chicken, pasta, salad, roasted veggies, in soups. LOVE the taste. It's a great finisher on top of scrambled eggs and avocado toast.
This is a novel idea; but not vibrant.
It was imagine that thus rub would have bold flavors. Maybe my use of certain ingredients has led my palate to expect something different. The taste is interesting but mild in my opinion.
