Dr Pepper is all well and good, but what about Dr Salt?
@Felthry Those are all specialists of course. None of them cover the basils. :D
@Felthry They should form a band.
@Felthry I want to try all of these
I think Dr. Ginger is James Vernor, Sr., original member of the Michigan Board of Pharmacy, holding license number 1 there, and inventor of Vernors ginger ale. (I'm not exactly sure whether he received a doctorate, or whether one would have been needed back then to become licensed in the state.)
Trying to figure out who would earn those other names is a lot harder than I estimated when I said this.
And what about other spice doctors? Dr Oregano, Dr Ginger, Dr Sage, Dr Paprika
