[Last week's answer: Cousin Martin is right. Sugar is the only pantry ingredient added to champagne. The fermenting grapes create natural yeast, and no additional yeast is needed.]

Silver oregano
Mexican Oregano is a different species, I have a small jar just for chili.
Hi ho silver? I've not heard of that before.
silver oregano(never heard of it)
I'm with Natashya. I've never heard of Hi Ho Silver Oregano, so no, I don't have any.
I don't know about Hi Ho Silver Oregano, but I am pretty sure that Mexican oregano is completely different. I do have it and love it in chili and Mexican flavored soups!
Mexican oregano is a member of the verbena family. All the others are oreganum.
I have oregano...I use it in Greek, Italian, Mexican...one works fine for me.
hmmmm - I am stumped on this one..."Variegated golden marjoram" seems too obvious. Definitely mexican and italian oregano exists - i suspect greek and italian are really the same? and Hi Ho Silver oregano is just one of those funny names that makes you think it doesn't exist but probably does...hmmmm
