Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hi The texture is comparable to a bisquick pancake, a little heavier, but you can combat that with an extra egg or appropriate substitute. Texture...the only issue I had was with a cold waffle before I reheated. I bit into it (because i'm a food addict and yes, I eat things cold because I cant wait) and it was grainy and put me off. meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I think it's spelled " mom " in Asia/India. A friend of mine who travelled extensively in the Middle East and India would tease me mercilessly when I called it cardomon instead of cardamom. I think we westerners must call it cardamon. Dictionary.com lists cardamom first and then cardamon as an alternative. " 1) a. A rhizomatous Indian herb (elettaria cardamomum) having capsular fruits with aromatic seeds used as a spice or condiment. b. The seed of this plant. 2)Any of several plants of the related genus Amomum, used as a substitute for cardamom. " Middle English cardamome, from Old French cardemome, from Latin cardammum, from Greek kardammon : kardamon, /cress/ + ammon, /an Indian spice/.] I love words, so I keep a shortcut for Dictionary.com on my desktop both at work and at home so I can look things up quickly. I also love cardamom, but haven't had it for awhile. I'll have to try it again. linda wrote: > What is the texture like in buckwheat pancakes?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 the " mom " sounds wrong to me though, LOL. I know it's right, but I don't like it, so it's -mon to me. BTW, if you have firefox browser you can download an extention for dictionary.com, just double click on a word and the definition and everything pops up on your computer I dont really like cardamon, I use it in my chai but only a teeny sprinkling.
