My wife has done this. Grabbed a bottle of Penzy’s Northwood Seasoning instead of the cinnamon. That apple pie was… not so good.
My dad went for cumin instead of cinnamon for his apple crumble. Then he finished his whole bowl telling us it’s fine. Everyone obviously left theirs.
We’ve never let him live it down.
Well, that seasoning is somewhat special. However, a spoon of cumin at least doesn’t make you cry.
My cardamom jar is identical to my white pepper.
One time I swapped the cayenne and chili pepper amounts in a recipe and it became inedible.
But but but
Cayenne is a chili pepper, isn’t it?
Chili powder* (vs cayenne powder)
I don’t really understand, isn’t cayenne powder a subtype of chili powder? (cayenne being a chili pepper)’
I’m not a native English speaker, so I’m very much taking this as a learning opportunity ^^
Chili Powder is any type of chili peppers ground to a powder and it’s spicy but not overwhelmingly so
Cayenne Powder is made specifically from Cayenne Peppers (which IS part of the chili family) which is generally MUCH spicier. Like 10x as spicy
Thanks for the info!
That’s just your butthole talking.
Hah, I can absolutely see myself doing this if we didnt keep our “baking” spices and related ingredients in a different cupboard.
Cajun Apple Pie
Cajun style
on the other hand, apple pie with cinnamon AND cayenne sounds tasty …
Done that. Don’t recommend.
The fact that the branding is larger than the informative label is fucked up. I wish capitalism would just fuck off.
I feel that rage every time I have to check if the bottle on the shelf in the shower is conditioner or shampoo.
Like who the fuck thinks this is OK.
Here’s a personal example:

Hi, are you gonna snort those?
I literally made this mistake 3 weeks ago. Worst oatmeal ever.
I didn’t notice the title at first and thought this was about shrinkflation. One is 69g and the other is 82g.
Cayenne dense!
Also canelle is pretty labor intensive to harvest.
Y’all are blind.
If they’re not side-by-side then it may be harder to tell, but the smell should clue you in. If in doubt, just give it a taste.
Spicy sweets is my favourite food genre that isn’t taken seriously enough. Try it.
Wife and I make our own taco seasoning, keep it in an empty jar just like the cayenne (same brand as the picture). During a taco night grabbed the wrong jar, dumped pure cayenne in … wasn’t so bad until it became aerosolized and maced the apartment
PSA: Cinnamon and nutmeg look identical, but cinnamon in your mashed potatoes tastes weirdly christmas-y. I tested it, sadly.
I’ve never used cinnamon on my potatoes, but I add it to some savory dishes like chill. The key is, cinnamon cuts through, so you need veeeeeeeery little.
You seem to be implying that you put nutmeg in mashed potatoes as a matter of routine.
Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It’s subtle though. It’s often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven’t added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?
I like to put a little bit of nutmeg in mushroom soup. It adds a little more dimension to the flavor.
Wait, isn’t it very common? I always thought of the nutmeg+potatoes as a very common combination
As most of the time, it depends on the country!
It is not.
Not sure about mash, but definitely have noticed it frequently in scalloped/cheesy potatoes
LOL no.
I most certainly do!
