I don't remember my grandmother (Großmutter / Grossmutter) but I do remember my mother sometimes mixing up the herbs and salt together in the blender and as a finishing touch after she took foods out of the oven, she would sprinkle this on top.
So now I see where it came from!
Ahsooooo! as the oldies would say!
:)
Haha, nice. Yes, it really goes very well on so many foods. Especially on boiled/scrambled eggs and omelettes.
