You are so right and I do agree because our tastebuds must be on par. However, not everyone feels that way. I use very little sweetner in my cooking, in fact, I use sugar-free maple syrup.....yup, I know, tastes like sh*t, but gotta do what I gotta do not to increase my sugar level. I've never had a sweet-tooth. Hubby, on the other hand would like syrup, sugar AND marshmallows!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> And that all goes to the 'tastebud' thingy!
I do like cinnamon, though, and while it has great medicinal qualities it tastes great and is a flavor enhancer. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> ( I also add some nutmeg to recipes just because....).
