Cinnamon is some sort of bark of some tree, very finely ground. Does that mean that it burns?
cinnamon don't try this.

As a rule, if it smells good, it burns. 
Unless you think things which are acrid or salty smell good, of course.

the reverse of this is not necessarily the case, though....

As a finely divided powder (like you buy in the store) it might not burn per se but if suspended in the air it might explode! Dusty things can ignite easily.
Kratag cigarettes have cloves in them and they burn well so why not cinnamon.

During the Martial law period in Poland in the 80's, my mother cooked very often rice with milk spiced it with cinnamon ( it was a very hard time, food was strongly rationed ). I hated that smell & taste as a child, I hate it till this day

Food burns. Uunless it's too wet to catch alight like an apple or something, but it's still flammable in theory.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

There's a dessert shop in my town that I very much enjoy called Dolce Vita. They make an excellent spanish coffee that's also fun to order because they flame the alcohol table-side and sprinkle cinnamon over the top, which ignites into sparks on the way into the goblet.
I say it burns.

Not only it burn im pretty sure it can explose too.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Guess that's another thing we can't bring onto planes. Wonder if they'll have spice-smelling dogs?

i think a lot of substances that burn will explode if they are turned into an airborne powder. I think, for example, sawmill dust can be problematic like that?

'Food' is not a scientific definition to my knowledge, so I don't really see how you can say food automatically burns unless you are saying everything burns.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Calories is scientific, though. It's the amount of heat that would be produced if you burned it. So anything with "calories" could in theory be burned, if you dried it out, roasted it to a sufficient temperature, etc.
Lots of things with no "food calories" burn, because they're too complex for our stomach to digest. But if they have "food calories", then they're flammable.
Lots of things don't burn. Water doesn't burn, ever. Helium doesn't burn. Burning adds oxygen to the molecule. Helium has no interest in oxygen, and water is fully-oxygenated hydrogen. There's nowhere for it to go.

Eating a teaspoon of cinnamon is really difficult.

Weed, burns, smells good; tobacco, burns, smells good; non-dairy creamer, burns (explodes even), smells good. By the sort of induction used in clinical trials (p = 0.25 here!), the converse is clearly true, matmat.

It's been a long time since high school, but... isn't there a difference between "reverse" and "converse"?
