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

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

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

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. :D
