More Than A Spice Dictionary:

Have you ever had any difficulties in finding spices' names in another language?

Gernot Katzer’s Spice Pages is a superb website, introduced to me by our friend, Kia. Gernot Katzer’s Spice Page is more than a spice dictionary and offers answers to many of your questions about spices, like their origins, usage and botanical information.

To find out about most of spices that you know the names in other languages, for instance in Farsi: click on indices, click on Multilingual and then choose your language’s script, for instance Arabic script. You can find the name of your spice in Farsi and find more information on it in English. There are six lingual categories offered in that part.

Be my guest take a look at it and you will go back there whenever you have spice questions” Says Kia.

I don't think it is the same as that one, but they certainly look like each other. I'll try to find out about that one.

I found out the name of that root that we saw in New York: it is called
Mandrake Root; it is very poisonous and has been used in magics.
