People looked around suspiciously, to see if anyone were
watching, and then threw in more seeds than the recipes
called for. They did that all the time. Once, I saw my own
mother put in 1 1/4 teaspoons fennel seed when the recipe
called for just 1 teaspoon. Things were just out of control.
Good thing the 60's came along to settle things down.

No, I don't clearly remember the 60's. Why do you ask?
