She

She has fed the Finno-Ugric tribes
before the introduction of potatoes.

She has been found in the Nahal Hemel
cave, Israel,
in the tomb of Tutankhamun,
ritually stuffed into the nostils
of Ramesses II,
the eyes of Ramasses IV:

Traces of her have been found in Egyptian urns dating from around 3000BC.

She has travelled the world.

She has been found in Pepys' Diaries
and added to coffee.

The Prophet Mohammed called her a "blessed seasoning".

She is the essence of Cocoa Cola.

Doctors have been known to prescribe her to facilitate
bowel movements and erection, to relieve headaches,
cough, snakebites and hair loss.

She scents garments with the smell of Lebanon,
a scent, legend has it, that could bring breath back to the dead ...
