Unintended substituion
Often on Sunday I have a brunchish meal of oatmeal with a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg, with some brown sugar on top. So I made some today, with bonus sliced ripe banana. As I was eating it, I thought it tasted odd. Not cinnamon-y. And sort of hot. Yes, I had made oatmeal with a bit cayenne and nutmeg, with some brown sugar on tap. And bonus sliced ripe banana, of course. Brian -- Day 836 of the "no grouchy usenet posts" project Current music playing: None. |

I have since moved the cayenne to the back of the shelf as we use it so seldom. It only takes one try to figure out it's not cinnamon. |

One evening when we had only been married for about a year or so we had invited my parents for dinner. My wife wanted to try a corn souffle recipe that she had seen in Gourmet. Knowing that my parents did not like spicy food she decided not to use the teaspoon of curry powder. Instead she added either 2 or 3 tsps cayenne. Wow! That had a nip to it. |

Cayenne doesn't have a whole lot of flavor, mostly just heat. With the brown sugar and banana, the cinnamon would have been a lot better. Still ate it. It wasn't terribly hot.

You could have added cinnamon at that point; cinnamon and cayenne go together fairly well. Bob |
