Igor: I don’t think coumarin is the same as Coumadin (AKA Warfarin). The letter is the blood thinner.

Did I read correctly? “coumarin levels”?
Does cinnamon have natural coumarin in it? What’d I miss??
My blood is thinned enough as it is.

“Health and safety regulators vs. Danish pastry”

Oh, sure, right, fine.

No sooner than the now-famous selfie of this blonde “Danish pastry” with our president Obama is made public, this Danish pastry is harassed by her own government.

This is ridiculous! It’s an outrage! It’s , it’s,. . .what’s that you say?

Wait.

Never mind.

I wonder why the Danish bakers can’t switch to true cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum)? It is only “cassia cinnamon” (Cinnamomum cassia), a different plant, which contains substantial amounts of coumarin. (Maybe they differ in cost – I know nothing about the cinnamon market.)

The one thing cinnamon buns have been missing all these years was a sense of outlaw defiance of authority. Now they are perfect.
