spicefossil
/ˈspaɪsˌfɒsəl/nounVerified NewA jar of spice carried through multiple kitchens and years, expired, and never finished.
The ground coriander from a 2016 curry phase survives three house moves and two clearouts, protected by uncertainty about its own freshness. Spicefossils form sediment layers in the cabinet, oldest at the back. Their sun-faded labels are the only dates anyone trusts.
Etym. — spice + fossil — preserved beyond its era, excavated only when the cabinet is emptied.
