Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) has been closely guarding its secret in making their famous finger-licking-good chicken. Well someone found a handwritten copy of the recipe and made it known. The original 11 herbs and spices are:
11 spices — Mix with 2 cups white fl
1) 2/3 Ts salt
2) 1/2 Ts thyme
3) 1/2 Ts basil
4) 1/3 Ts oregano
5) 1 Ts celery salt
6) 1 Ts black pepper
7) 1 Ts dried mustard
4 Ts paprika
9) 2 Ts garlic salt
10) 1 Ts ground ginger
11) 3 Ts white pepper

Only one more mystery remains. What is the measurement "Ts" mean?
Tablespoon is normally abbreviated as tbsp or Tb or T.
Teaspoon is normally abbreviated as tsp or t.
So what does Ts mean? My guess is Tablespoon but that is only a guess. It might be teaspoon where someone doesn't know the convention of using a smaller "t" for teaspoon. Perhaps the abbreviation might be in some hidden language like Martian! In which case Colonel Sanders has retained his secret recipe because it is written in code. Well looking at the 11 spices, they are all written in the same metrics so an individual could substitute any unit of volume in its place. Not very secret! But then there is the relationship of the metric with the base 2 cups white flour.
It is really hard to figure out all the mysteries of life before you die!
