Hoi Alltohoop,<br>
<br>
In Afrikaans ken ons ook kardamom ('n saadpakkie met geurige klein
saadjies), komynsaad en karwysaad. <br>
<br>
Kardamom smaak goed in vleiskosse en in soetkosse. <br>
<br>
Komyn saad lyk baie soos anys saad maar smaak minder soethouterig
('liquirice') as anys en is lekker in vleiskosse. <br>
<br>
Karwysaad is effe groter as komyn, 'n bietjie gekrom en ideaal
in groentekosse soos rooikool en boerkool maar ook in kaas!
<br>
<br>
As enige Laaglander ooit hier in Johannesburg kom kuier, sal ek jul na die
Oosterse Plaza neem waar mens die speserye vars gemaal of heel kan
koop. <br>

Okay, a topic *I* can relate to!<br>
<br>
R/R wites:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
> By the way, cardamom may very well be my favorite spice, which, together
with <br>
> the abundant use of garlic, may very well be the reason why Middle Eastern
<br>
> cuisine belongs to my favorite cuisines alongside Japanese and Chinese <br>
> cuisine, followed by South Asian cuisine.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
Well, once again R/R and I will have to agree to disagree -- on minor points
anyway. Having lived in Japan, the Middle East (Eastern Turkey) and South Asia,
and like R/R traveled extensively everywhere else practically, I agree that S
Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines rate at the very top in my books ... though
for me in the reverse order (with "Turkish" running a VERY close
second). Both are without a doubt among the most varied of cuisines and the
quality that you find (in loco anyway) is uniformly excellent ... and without
having to sell the firstborn to finance a meal.<br>
<br>
As for Japanese, I am also quite fond of most of it -- meat dishes and inago
aside, and natto I can take or leave. BUT, in my books anyway, it is
nowhere even NEAR the above two in terms of richness of variety, etc ... and I
will have to admit that quality is NOT uniformly high, not even if you sell
your first born. (And by the way, he still writes on occasion.)<br>
<br>
I am much less fond of MOST Chinese food that one finds around the world --
including in China
-- but must admit that SOMETIMES Chinese food can be heaven (NY and SF China
towns tend to be good, and in China IF you are lucky or have inside info THEN
it can be superb). BUT, mostly not as much to MY taste (a personal matter) ...
though the closer one gets to the Four Rivers (Szechuan),
the more I like it.<br>
<br>
And as for cumin and caraway, I'll have to admit that there have been a time or
two in south east asian spice markets where I have bought carraway THINKING I
was getting cumin ... Of course IF i had been thinking I should have known that
cumin is LESS used there. ... Same problem never happens , here, so it must be
a linguistic thing (i.e. the seeds look a lot alike both places, but being able
to understand what the sign or vendor says helps!)<br>
<br>
And cardamom ... well, what can I say? In everything from carrot halva to
Syrian (Turkish) coffee to navratan korma ... <br>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Reinhard/Ron mentioned
Caraway being called Kümmel and cumin Kreuzkümmel.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">This has set me wondering.
When looking at ancient deeds dating from c 1250 - 1400 we have come across
quite a few where the rent per annum was 1lb of cumin and have been surprised,
as none of thought that cumin would ahve been that available in the middle
ages.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">However caraway is a well
known and well documented spice. Could the rents have been paid in caraway
rather than cumin?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">from a blissfully dry and
sunny Worcestshire where we have had at LONG LAST the first week without rain
for months and yesterday the sun dispersed the low cloud as well, so smiles all
round!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Heather</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">PS we also have rents of '
a single rose' and even the proverbial ' single peppercorn'.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">PPS perhaps cumon / caraway
was very expensive making 1lb an extremely expensive rent !?</span></p>
