>>Dear friends,

>>

>>Jacqueline was asking for the Scandinavian perspective in this matter and
I-m afraid this will add to the confusion. Actually I had the same

>>association as Jacqueline. Swedish uses "kummin" and "kardemumma" and I
also thought "Kommum" might be "mixture". Strikingly

>>Swedish "kummin" is "caraway" (Carum carvi) in English while "spiskummin"
(literally "oven cumin") denotes "cumin" (Cuminum

>>cyminum). Both words found their way to Sweden via Lowland languages (LS
and/or Dutch). I may add that one of the most critical points

>>in my marriage was when my (Swedish) wife discovered I had mixed up
"kummin" and "spiskummin" when preparing a dinner for invited

>>guests (I didn't even know there was a difference then - NOW i know).

>>

>>Greetings

>>Wolfram

Are you sure "spiskummin" means 'oven cumin'? In Norwegian it's written
"spisskummen", from "spiss", Dutch "spits", meaning something like 'pointy'.
So litterally "pointy caraway".
Norw:
cumin = spisskummen OR spisskarve

caraway = kummin OR karve (in both cases karve/kummin can be freely
interchanged)

Greetings, Diederik
