My wife was making banana bread and a similar disaster was waiting to happen as the Cinnamon and Cumin are sold in nearly identical-looking containers. The inevitable happened and we ended up with banana bread that tasted like it was seasoned with taco seasoning!
We had that happen with cinnamon and ginger. They had both almost the same colored packaging and the color of the spice itself also didn’t differ a lot. We needed ginger for the recipe and ended up with cinnamon. It wasn’t completely ruined, but it was more like something to get it over with while eating instead of enjoying it.
They were surprisingly edible. Honestly the chocolate chips provided the needed reprieve from the cumin, but we did end up tossing about half of it after a week of nibbling at it and laughing anew about the mistake

When I was a kid I made dinner and used dessicated coconut instead of breadcrumbs in the meatballs by mistake

Was it awful?
