About this listen
On this episode of Eat My Globe our host, Simon Majumdar, will be discussing the origins of cinnamon, a spice that is now in most kitchens in the world but was once the most expensive spice on earth. He will discuss the difference between cinnamon and cassia; how a Roman emperor burned a huge amount of cinnamon at the funeral of his wife; how the Silk Road and the Columbian Exchange brought the valuable spice to Europe; how its smell reminds Simon of every American airport; and so much more. It is truly a fascinating history.
