Anyone know this Greek spice/seasoning?
It's a Greek seasoning/spice for souvlaki; I've heard that it's called 'original' (pronounced- or' igg' in' al'). If there's actually another name for it, please let me know. Or where to get it as well (Toronto, North York). THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN INPUT IN ADVICE!

I am a former chef and live in downtown Toronto, I know there are McCormick blends for Greek dishes, I just use salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, onion powder, lemon juice and parsley, even the Bulk Barn sells in the spice section a blended spice, in North York, I would look at Highland Farms on Dufferin and Supertest Rd, I go to the Danforth for all my Greek food needs.

It has no green color to it and no visible herb flakes.
Having imitated this blend successfully in the past, I can assure you that if you put that much parsley and oregano in it, the parsley would show.
I am certain that there are ingredients other than what I haveused, but in several side by side blind tests, my blends was virtually indistinguishable from the real thing
I use salt, pepper,garlic powder, oregano, and I like to use a little MSG personally.
The cornstarch is only just a filler. I skip it and use less product.
You would also be able to see boullion granules as well unles you milled the very fine first.
That being said, this sounds like a very interesting blend and I intend to try a small batch

I believe you mean dried Oregano. I think it is quite common worldwide, you shouldn't have trouble finding it.
