Which sounds better?

So, one of these is going to my 87 year old aunt who looks and acts around 65. She still has her own garden, still does the Tulsa Run every year, and lives by herself (her husband died 10 years ago). Since I still can’t quite find what was meant to be her Christmas present, I found these that I got for free, and am trying to decide which to give her. I’m thinking of going with the seasonings that include Garlic Truffle Steak Rub. The other seasonings look good, but I’m thinking even though you can use the seasonings on any meat, my Aunt Melba is less likely to use the pizza seasonings. I’d kind of like to put the Everything but the Garlic Bread seasoning on roasted veggies. If you were my 87 year old aunt, which would you prefer? Do you use a lot of seasonings? I think seasonings are way underrated. WAY underrated.

They both sound interesting but if you don't think she'd use the pizza seasoning, then the steak would be the better choice for her. Yes, I use quite a few seasonings when I'm making something. (Onions and garlic are favorites here.) I like a LOT of onions. Pretty buys big bottles of different seasonings.

Onions are so good. My dad loves onions so much, for his birthday, one of his brother’s brought him a gift bag full of different kinds of onions. It was the absolute perfect gift for him.

I think both sets sound like fun to cook with. Personally, we make our pizzas homemade, and we would be more likely to use that one and while the steak one sounds delicious, it depends on the amount of money a person is willing to pay for a steak!!

That’s a good point. That steak rub may be destined for hamburger considering how much things cost.

@AmbiePam Heck, any more even ground beef nearly requires a bank loan!

They both sound yummy--if it was me, though, and I'm not much of a steak person, I'd go with the pizza one.

Yum! If she doesn’t like the Italian-inspired seasonings the steak rub package would probably be better for her. I’m happy to hear she’s still out there rockin’ it at 87!

One of those looks spicy. Which one likes hot food?

The hot honey? Yeah, I know hot honey is a new trend for some people, but I don’t know too many people in my family that are interested in anything that gets your eyes watering like hot honey would.

Both of the collections have at least one hot feature. I was leaning towards the pizza one.

Darn, I’m not sure now. Maybe the pizza one would be be better. Shoot, I wish I could find the things I’m looking for! It’s frustrating.

I even asked my dad’s opinion, but he didn’t have one. Diana said go with the steak one.

I don't know, but maybe any of the two she will like it as long as it comes from your heart. Your Aunt is very impressive how she can manage life as if she's still so young... her heart must be really good and pure that is why she act and moves young. God bless.

They both sound good but for her probably the BBQ seasoning because I don't think she would like the too spicy stuff,

The older I get, the less I can do spicy.

Personally I'd prefer the Truffle Steak Rub along with the others in that package. I do enjoy seasonings but I think I would find the others, especially the red pepper flakes too much as well as the garlic one.

I don’t know which she is more likely to use. I’m guessing. You might guess better.

I think the BBQ would be a better choice. I never season anything. I keep my salt intake as low as I can.

I'm 76 and although I like to think I'z younger, my body tells me to kool it with the spices ..... used to be I would eat hot salsa with many foods but anymore I get heartburn, Mother Natures reminder that I'z not that young no more. Could be she'd love a really nice dark hot chocolate mix .... dark chocolate is actually healthy in many ways and also provides some iron. Just a thought. Merry Christmas

If your Aunt would not use the pizza seasoning, I would go with the other seasonings. Yes, I use a lot of seasonings.

I guess maybe something other than the pizza one. Vince uses a variety of seasonings.

That sounds great! I really enjoy both steak and pizza. If there's no pizza planned, I’d probably pick the steak, but I’d still love to try the pizza since I like experimenting with seasonings. Sometimes I even sprinkle steak-seasoned spices on my hamburgers, and it turns out delicious!
