Shorty’s Gourmet Spices long history has it know by a few names over time. You may know it as Shorty’s Spice, Uncle Eddie’s Spice, Ed’s Spice, Falawaka Spice. So the story goes, in the 1960’s Eddie Falawaka and his wife Irene were having a few drinks and decided to season up one of their dishes with his self-taught culinary skills, and over a few meals Shorty’s Gourmet Spice was created and perfected over the next few years.

He sold it out of his house, located at North West Basin just outside of Penetanguishine Ontario Canada. Sadly in 2017 Uncle Eddie left us and made his entrance through the Pearly White Gates at the grand old age of 88, to meet up once again with his beloved wife Irene.

This is where I come in! My great Uncle left his legacy to me, Nicole. And I have decided its too good not to share with the world.
Shorty’s Gourmet Spice is easy to use. PUT IT ON EVERYTHING! Shorty’s Gourmet Spice is truly an All Purpose Seasoning.
It can be used with Beef, Pork, Chicken, Fish, Seafood, Vegetables, Popcorn, Drinks and so much more. It will make your good food great, and your great food even better.
Ed Falawka’s was a great home chef, whose love of food was only second to that for his wife, and his Pedal Steel Guitar’s. So without a doubt Ed of course had recipes that he shared with all, sharing booklets with those that purchased his Shorty’s Gourmet Spice. You can find all these great recipes here, plus a few more that we have added, that will show you how to use Shorty’s Gourmet Spice, and hope this inspires you to experiment in the kitchen.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
