Yes, what intrigues me is the Cardamom, one of the most wonderfully fragrant spices.
I assume it comes out like a casserole of baked mashed potatoes (?)
It has just got to be delicous.
Exactly. Once the potatoes go into the pears, the mixture has the texture of potatoes.
The place I use the most cardamon is herbed hamburger.

I use a mortar and pestle on whole cardamon so that it has chunks that let you hit pieces of the flavor, and mix it with rosemary and thyme and shredded parmesan to flavor the hamburger.
