To clarify:

Fake cinnamon flavor: VERY VERY BAD!
Too much cinnamon: BAD!
Just enough cinnamon: GOOD BUT EXTREMELY RARE!

It's really not cinnamon's fault, but the the fault of people who do terrible things with it (much like garlic), but I so rarely encounter cinnamon being used in appropriate quantities that I had to go with overall BAD.

Too much cinnamon = only marginally sufficient.

There are people who say that about garlic, too. I can only conclude that we are of different species.

Ginger, on the other hand...

I am all for cinnamon, garlic and ginger. But probably not all at the same time.

The garam masala I buy usually tastes predominantly of garlic/cumin/coriander, and you can't realy tell there is cinnamon in there.

There's probably a ton in there--you're just pretending it can't be because you like it.

Garam Masala without cinnamon is awful.

I can definately tell the difference :D

I agree with this comment, except for the bit about garlic.

Same here.

I am convinced that it should be possible for "too much garlic" to be a phrase with utility; however, I have yet to encounter a situation wherein it might be used.

(I have been to a garlic party, which featured pickled garlic, garlic chocolate cake (INSUFFICIENTLY GARLICY), garlic ice-cream, but sadly no garlic vodka, because the person in charge of making the garlic vodka drank all the vodka.)

There's a restaurant in Amsterdam called "Garlic Queen" in which every dish contains garlic. Haven't been to it yet (mostly because I have to be around people for the next few days).

A entire roasted head of garlic is their speciality.
