What stirs your childhood memories? Is there a sound or smell that reminds you of visiting your grandparents? Perhaps just reading this will remind you of something you had not thought about for years.
Cloves are the small flower buds from a tropical tree and may be used to produce clove oil. I use cloves in cooking but I also keep a small jar of them just to sniff, not sure if that makes me a clove addict. My maternal grandparents lived in Aberdeen and I spent many of my summer holidays with them; as a treat they gave me clove candy which was round and flat, constructed like a coil of rope. Over the years I have tried to buy something similar but I have never found any that looked or tasted like that childhood clove candy.
