I ordered cinnamon from a local supplier. When I took the cap off, it didn't smell right, but I thought it was either me, or the flavor came out when it was heated. Tried it anyway.

It tasted just like it smelled. Do you remember the little bath oil beads that your mother had? About a half inch in diameter, and purple-ish coloured? That's what it smelled and tasted like. VERY oily tasting! Especially when you're expecting cinnamon!
It took about 3 cleanings, one of them in 100 proof rum, to get that taste out of the atty.
Turns out YNDK sent them LAVENDER in bottles marked Cinnamon.
From now on, I'm trusting my nose!
