    Spiced’s ginger bread scent

    I hadn’t thought of it that way. Clearly it is time to revisit Spice.

      On December 6th, kids here get a Samichlaussäckli: a jute sack with mandarins, gingerbread, and peanuts. Spiced is essentially every Swiss kid’s memory of the Christmas season minus peanuts🎅

        Huh. I wondered if I would pick up gingerbread from the scent, but did not. Then again, I don’t have any tradition of gingerbread in my past.

          I’m wondering whether gingerbread spices are different in anglosaxon recipes. The similarity between Spiced and gingerbread here is not subtle 🤔

            Yes, there could be a recipe difference. And, we Americans aren’t necessarily known for fine cuisine. I may not have had a true gingerbread.

              They should, though, IMO. There are few European cities which can compete with American cities when it comes to the variety of different cuisines (and fusions thereof). Maybe London, which incidentally is also massively underrated as a culinary destination. Melting Pot++;

                That’s because authentic American food is pretty much what’s on the McDonald’s menu :)

                Completely agree about London. Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had was there.
