I've been reading up on cinnamon, and it seems that we here in America primarily use the imitation kind, cassia. It's possible I haven't had real cinnamon in my life.

I never had cinnamon .
Actually i am hearing this for the first time.

You've never had cinnamon?! Do you mean, you've never had pure cinnamon, or you've never had any kind of cinnamon? That's odd, you have to try it.
