There was, yes.

One of our "title-toting" NG members will be happy to assist you,
please hold on.

Is this the same episode where Paul tells Jamie that Allspice is a
combination of all spices except paprika? I don't know the name of this
episode either. Sorry I can't be more help!

Please Help!

Does anyone know if there was an episode where the spice (I think) Cumin

was a big discussion. Do you know the name of the episode or what is was
about? Am I dreaming this or was it from an episode of Seinfeld or
something?

Also, I saw a clip in Clip Show episode where Jamie was wearing a hat
and making fun of Paul's speech in the living room. She was talking
about dumplings. Does anyone know which episode this is from?

Thanks in advance,
Bridget

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is a scene where Jamie had cooked/prepared
something when Paul's parents came over. Paul's mom asks Jamie - what's that curry taste?
Jamie's reply - curry. Paul's mom makes a look like she's pretending to be happy with that
answer - but we ALL know better than that. This must be the episode - unless we both dreamed
it. I'll keep thinking about what the actual episode was about - maybe it'll come to me.....

The second one I can't help you too much with......yet.....

a) You're not dreaming. and 2) don't mention lesser TV shows here. ;-)

From the FAQ -

1.3 Sunday Times

Sunday, quiet Sunday, with nothing to do except decide what to do, and
do so quickly: see a movie, a parade or get to the museum. And before
others' Sundays intrude.

Written by: Jeffrey Lane
Directed by: Barnet Kellman
Tease: From the Sunday paper: Helen Hayes broke her foot.
Word: Wilding.
Keys: A dream about potato chips and the Weather Channel,
unreliable hands, cassoulet and cumin, gelling or clotting,
Will Rogers' Follies, Ira's band, Fung Wei or Fung you,
the Belgian film festival, Amish quilts, 86 minutes in all,
the Gay Pride parade, the Chelsea 10K race (where Selby pulls a
Rosie Ruiz).

- Lisa: "Who is this guy Kelly and why does he need all these girls?"
- Jamie: "I used to be out there all the time. I frizzed my
hair, I wore hats, I slept with artists ... once...
commercial. .. still!"
Paul: "... What kind of hats?"
Jamie: "All kinds, big funky hats, little funky hats, I wore hats!"
Paul: "I've NEVER seen you in a hat."
Jamie: "Ya, I guess those days are gone!"
- Jamie: "Sorry about dinner."
Paul: "It was an effort."
Jamie: "Thank you..."
Paul: "I mean, to eat it, was an effort."

fergot which episode, but it was a first season show, very early
(possibly 1.1 Romantic Improviations??) and Jamie's actually making fun


of comedian Paul Reiser's comic stylings. Before MAY Paul Resier was an
'up and coming' comic on the "Tonight Show", "Evening at the Improv",

"HBO Comedy Specials", etc. etc. and that was actually a very good
impression of his act.

Not that it REALLY matters this time, but I didn't write the top part of the post. I quoted it from the
original poster in my reply. This time it really doesn't matter, but next time, I could get
accidentally quoted as saying something nasty and not catch it - and where would I be then?!?!?
I would lose my nonexistant reputation!

I have tried to find this episode about cumin for years. Did anyone ever figure it out? It was so funny, and I'd love to see it again.
