Well, according to a reporter at the Chicago Tribune, the nephew of Colonel Sanders was showing him a family scrapbook and the will of the Colonel's 2nd wife. On the back of the will, was the hand written list of the original 11 herbs and spices. The Tribune reported they tried the recipe and with the addition of a little MSG (which is now confirmed as in the current spice mix), the taste was a match for original recipe KFC. So did you hear that sound? Might have been the ol' Colonel flipping over in his grave.....

Here is the link to where the tribune put the recipe to the test. A clean copy of the entire process is at the end of this link if you want to cut and paste it to save. They confirmed that the "T" is Tablespoons.
