one is an american state and the other is an herb?

really though .oregano has a slightly licorice smell and works well with italian foods and veggie dishes esp.if it contains a tomatoe product. in some regions of the united states it,s used in chili and other mexican recipes.
thyme is a wonderful herb with a crisp dusty smell i liken it to sage but maybe because they mix so well ,and adds awesome flavor to chicken dishes hot or cold.it,s one of my favorite herbs and i use both dry and fresh. in soups, stews, baked chickens, stuffings rice dishes,pork.
