If you had to change your username for Daily Kos and could only use herbs and spices or blends, which would you choose? You don't have to explain why you would choose it, but it might explain why you want to be called Jamaican Jerk. Or maybe you're more of a Bouquet Garni.
I would choose Cardamom. Description of cardamom might explain it, or maybe not.
Cardamom is one of the world’s very ancient spices.
Cardamom is an expensive spice, second only to saffron.
The Arabs attributed aphrodisiac qualities to it (it features regularly in the Arabian Nights)
Bouquet: Pungent, warm and aromatic.
Flavour: Warm and eucalyptine with camphorous and lemony undertones. Black cardamom is blunter, the eucalyptus and camphor suggestions very pronounced.
Now, you don't have to limit yourself to just the herb, spice or blend by themselves, you can add a name such as Cinnamon Cheryl. List some characteristics of your choice might be helpful. You may even find you resemble your choice or that you totally opposite. This could be a great deal of fun and I for one am looking forward to Patric Juillet's choice, and his explanation. (I do have one limitation, don't just say curry. What type of curry?)
I'm not going to set narrow parameters, so you have quite a bit of latitude. You may even bring in a fictional spice, but if it's fictional, name the source and characteristics for everyone else. (I'm thinking of all of you Sci-Fi fans. Before all of you jump there tho', give our earthly ones a chance.
I look forward to your selections, have fun!
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
- If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
- Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
- You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
- You don't have to comment to recommend.
- You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
- Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 300, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
- Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
- TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Heh
