Cassia Bark

By chase
Otherwise known as Cinnamon.
I can smell it each time I open the cupboard.

Cinnamon was one of the first spices slight in the explorations of the 15th and 16th centuries.The agreeably sweet, woody aroma is quite delicate yet intense.
The taste is well defined, fragrant and warm, suited to both sweet and savoury dishes. Particularly good with Lamb and various rice dishes.
Today, Cinnamon forms an essential part of most Indian cuisine, it is also widely used in chocolates, chocolate desserts, cakes and drinks. Other uses include making pomanders and pot pourris.

The olive green tin is an old tea caddy.

Thanks for dropping by.
Constructive critique and mods welcome.

I used some this very day making a load of chicken mole (pronounced molay....a delicious Mexican dish involving ancho and chipotle chillies, cumin, cinnamon, raisins and peanut butter). I made it to freeze to take to Skye next weekend then a couple of hours later it was confirmed that we can't go as we are 2 households. I am devastated and drowning my sorrows in gin as I type SadSadSad

Thanks everyone.

Fiona, that's really bad news but you have the Chicken dish to help you with the Gin Wink

Thanks for the mod Malc, I took my level from the 'horizon'.. that tin doesn't sit straight even on my shelf but, I should have checked and then blurred out the horizon line further Sad
Nowt wrong with your eyesight Wink
