[Last week's answer: #3 is true and, in a pinch, if you don't have coconut cream, you can make a passable piña colada with coconut milk, which makes #4 true, too.]

The curl of the quill.

#3. I have Vietnamese cinnamon, which a friend brought from there, as well as Korintje. It's a favorite spice of mine.

All of them!

I have no idea, and to tell the truth I don't really know what the difference is!

Time for a guess....C - by the curl of the quill.

Great question by the way.

By the smell.

I'm going for #3 - the curl of the quill. Since they are different plants, it makes sense to me that they would curl differently.

I got nuttin. Curious to find out the answer now though.

I vote for #3 but in a pinch price might also clue you in.
