I would be surprised if this phrase didn't appear in the Christmas story at some point now!

When's that starting, anyway?

What is cardamom ?

Maybe I look it up in the dictionary to see if the word in French rings a bell to me :d

Do you always have cardamom cakes for christmas ???

Well, I've just checked and the translation "cardamome" is as cryptic to me as the English word :d

You are not alone Logales, I have no clue what they are talking about either.

I misread it and thought it read 'Cacodemon'. Ooopsie daisy!

Never even heard of them. Sure you're not pulling our leg?

Hehe

No, it'd be too hot and spicy

Ooh they look weird...the ones in Doom 2 are blue and red. Are they from Doom 3 or something?

got it

It's a fragrant spice that comes in little white or black pods, the little seeds smell a lot like freshly cut Christmas tree, and have a very crisp, unique flavor.

They're just all around good! If you like spice cookies but are tired of gingerbread they're really great around this time of year.
