What 10 Countries do you look for a 'Made In' Label?

[Cliff@sea]

To be frank, everything Pakistani is not bad.

Try Shan Masala of Pakistan.

They are superb!

The brands Lois Vuitton and Henessy are owned by a South African company called Richmont, which is owned by the Anton family(South African). In south Africa, although there is mass scale imports, by national apparel retailers, from China, I myself try not to buy Chineses, purely because of the quality. Growing numbers of people share this sentiment. I also import leather goods (on a small scale) from India and find that people are generally more accepting of the product if it is made in India rather than China. The market I deal with is an educated and reasonable affluent market.

Sir, you are mistaken.

Richemont is a rival to Arnault. Arnault owns LV and Moet Hennessy !

Christian Dior owns LVHM which includes Lois Vuitton and Henessy. All of it is owned and operated by Bernard Arnault who is the richest man in France and 4th in the world.

Some of the finest things are designed in the US, but unfortunately, they are made in China.

My friends tell me that I am an accomplished cook also.

My wife disagrees that I know about cooking and even if I did, I am the most expensive cook she has seen!

I have tried a great variety of Indian masalas, but even if Pakistan does not light me up with fire of excitement, I will say that Shan is a real good masala, even though a wee bit strong.

 

[Known_Unknown]

Made in Germany and Japan-those are the only two hallmarks of quality products.

Cautionary Note:

In Canada they found imported packaged Masala contained "Lead" in the mixture. I will look for the article and post it.

Shaan is off my list.

Hopefully they don't have lead!

Actually the Made in China thing makes you realise how stupid you are.Bought a pair of Shure SE535 and they were freaking Made in China...I thought that much money for a Made in China product

Even along highways in haryana and punjab you can buy home made masalas and pickels of your choosing. You can even taste before buying!

If we just buy without knowing what dangers are lurking in the mixture than we are playing with not only our lives but rest of the family and friends as well. The choice is yours and make an informed decision.

There are more chances of mixture is semi-mass productions than in these home made stuff since they solely rely on past experiance of customer and have no promotion strategy.

Thanks for clearing the misunderstanding on my part. How do you rate MDH masala packages? I personally go for solid and grind them at home.
