Cinnamon
 

Do you become immune to the smell and taste of cinnamon after living here for a while? We've been here just 3 months and its prevalence is taking some adjusting to. I hate the stuff and it's everywhere! I find myself gagging as I walk into supermarkets (usually also at the smell of ripe cheese mixed in with the cinnamon aroma), shopping centres, coffee shops... It's in foods when I'm not expecting it to be ... Please, any words of hope or wisdom to help me adjust??

all I know about cinnamon here, is that they sell that Cassia stuff, which isn't the cinnamon we are used to.

Re: Cinnamon
 

I love cinnamon. IMO everything is flavoured with cherry and It makes me want to hurl.

:sick:

Re: Cinnamon
 

Cinnamon is the devil. I hate the stuff.
I crave an Apple pie, made without a pound of cinnamon.

Re: Cinnamon
 

I hate it too.

American apple pie is inedible, because really it's cinnamon pie with added appeles.

Re: Cinnamon
 

Cinnamon is definitely the way forward.

Cinnamon and sprouts? :thumbsup:

Re: Cinnamon
 

Cinnamon is completely innocuous, I love it! My wife discovered a spice called asafoetida and boy does that stuff smell vile. I've had to move all my stuff over to another cupboard on the other side of the kitchen so it doesn't smell of asafoetida.

Everything goes with sprouts!

Hmmm.... I'm thinking cinnamon sprout and cauliflower Vindaloo.... Could be a winner!

(Blow that chuffing hurricane back where it came from..)

I have many very happy memories of having cinnamon toast in the morning with my granny......:wub:

Re: Cinnamon
 

Makes me want to gag. Was never a fan, but since pregnancy I could now chuck. Urgh.

Re: Cinnamon
 

Yah I'm still upchucking at every minor smell.

It was immensely satisfying to unplug my friends holiday plug in. Why the hell would you want your house to smell like fake cinnamon

Re: Cinnamon
 

I'm used to it now. I love cinnamon rolls and cinnamon toast. Don't mind it in apple pie but refuse to eat cereal if has cinnamon in it...that's just wrong:sneaky:

Re: Cinnamon
 

I don't like it in apple pie, but cinnamon buns and toast are good. I like pickled onions but I fondly remembered the home made ones of my Somerset relatives, one uncle's vegetable patch was all shallots for pickling. I found a recipe for them and there was half a cinnamon stick amongst the pickling spices. They were so much better than the commercial ones, layers of flavour, the vinegar, the onion, cinnamon, cloves, black peppercorns and more.

The cinnamon pie that calls it's self "pumpkin pie" is nasty. I don't mind cinnamon that is in apple pie in a small quantity, but it is very over done in a lot of things. I also object to people calling plain ordinary apple juice "apple cider", when it is nothing of the sort. It's not Woodpecker, or any of the other "proper" ciders, is it?
