Am I highly sensitive to cinnamon, or is everyone actually intending to let cinnamon strong-arm every other flavour into submission under a very weird sweet top note in what are supposed to be savoury dishes? (I sound snarky, but I really want to know if people mean what I'm tasting.)

I taste bitterness quite strongly, but I've learned to enjoy its background weirdness for the sake of having a broader diet. I've had no such adjustment luck with cinnamon, though. It's the bully of the spice world.

I feel the same about garlic! It doesn’t agree with me at all and when it’s in something that’s usually all I can taste.

I usually triple the garlic, but only if I'm making something for me and my partner, because that's not everyone's thing.

Yep. I love cinnamon but I know it isn’t for everyone!

If I ever cook for you, I promise no garlic and a cinnamony dessert :)
