herbmuseum
/ˈhɜːbmjuːˈziəm/nounVerified NewAlso in: Gewürzmuseum (Deutsch) · museoespecia (Español) · muséépice (Français)
The spice and dried-herb collection older than the kitchen it lives in.
The herbmuseum's exhibits include paprika from a previous decade and dried thyme that has become a historical document. Nothing has spoiled exactly; everything has merely retired. The museum is toured when a recipe calls for something specific, and the oldest jar is scraped with the reverence due to a relic.
Etym. — herb + museum — the spice rack as a collection of aged artifacts.
Rel. — panhoard
