Cloves.

[growingvegetables]

Love 'em. In biscuits and cakes, anything with apples, and stuck into a roast leg of lamb.

Nice flavour when added to things, but crunching into one isn't nice!

Bread sauce would taste pretty crap without them.

When you get a small seed/pip thing in pilau rice is that a clove? If so they taste nice.

Green cardomum, or elach

Cloves and cardamom add a lovely taste but like a bouquet garni they should be removed before serving as biting into them is overpowering.

I love cardamoms, and I eat the pods too and I love the flavour of cloves too.

I remember doing something in primary school putting cloves into oranges for Christmas lol

I like cloves but I'll readily admit they're not subtle. And they're pretty much inedible too so never leave them in a dish you're serving.

I leave them on top of my Tunisian Orange Cake where they are used to flavour the syrup, but it's fairly obvious they are decoration at that point.

The reason for the clove-studded oranges, apart from the smell, is that you bake them and then they are the basis of mulled wine. I love all kinds of spices, and there are some things that absolutely require cloves, especially bread sauce, quite a few different biscuits and lots of recipes that use oranges.

If we did away with cloves, Londoners would be walking round naked

I didn't know that! I just put in cloves and the oranges separately. So you are meant to bake the orange first?
