The scent of cinnamon always reminds me of milk tarts and spicy jaw breakers. I remember buying the red jaw breakers in packs of 3 in high school. I never had the patience to keep the jaw breaker in my mouth until it dissolved into the small piece of treasured chewing gum in the middle. I always tried to bite through the hard cinnamon flavored candy outside to get to the gum inside. Milk tart with a sprinkle of cinnamon across the top is just edible art for me. Of all the South African food I miss, it's the traditional milk tart I miss the most. There are milk tart products in Taiwan, but they don't taste quite the same.
Thanks for the link to my work. :-)
