[Sca-cooks] Cameline and genet

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

That's a useful inventory. Thanks.

I suspect at some point I read  that cinnamon was the defining ingredient 
for cameline (as it appears to be) and  got it in my head that that was all 
that was in there.
 
In this case, I suppose we can take the stated combination as the  
"official" one, at least as far as the Paris authorities were concerned.
 
Genet, I know only as the French name for broom. The fact that an ancestor  
wore a sprig of it in his hat gave the Plantagenet line their name.

Most of  the cameline recipes I've seen call for a number of  spices.
