I was wondering the other day:
How come we commonly sprinkle things like doughnuts or hot buttered toast with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, but we rarely if ever mix sugar with other spices (say cardamom or cumin or paprika or chili powder) and sprinkle it on things? Maybe cloves or nutmeg might work — but I don't remember ever seeing this.
Can we imagine some dishes in which a different spice-sugar mix could be featured?
