Default CARDAMOM

When I was a kid, Mom used to make
a rich sweet raisin bread flavored with Cardamom.
The cardamom gave it a unique aroma
that still stays in my memories.

I recently tried making the bread.
Got my Cardamom fresh from Pennzy's.

Hmmm...smells odd.... like sausage spice. (??)
But I made the batch of bread, but in baking,
the kitchen smelled like a breakfast diner.
The finished bread smelled/tasted like sausage patties.

I bought another container of Cardamom locally.
Another batch of bread.... same ( sausage? ) results.

Am I buying the wrong cardamom?
Has my taste/smell gone to hell ?
Anyone here bake with cardamom ? Help !!
