Caramel versus Carmel? Which do you use when referring to the sweet?

Posted by admin on December 31st, 2009 and filed under carmel | 10 Comments »

It should be caramel, but lots of folks and products are using carmel.

Caramel. Carmel is a place in California. People, a lot of times don’t spell very well.

    Caramel is a food product – but Carmel is a city in California. I think it would be rather hard to get Carmel on top of some ice cream.

    But I have a good one for you – we locally produce something called CaraMOOmel – check it out: http://www.caramoomel.com/

    Maybe the word is said a little different because of the way people talk in different regions. Some people say Hello and some say Howdy. I say Carmel up here in Canada

    For sweets, personally I have only seen caramel (although I have heard it pronounced "carmel" despite the spelling). Carmel is a city on the California Coast, as well as a county in New York.

    The sweet is caramel,(caramelised sugar ) the only Carmel i know of is the ‘mount Carmel ‘
    overlooking the Mediterranean sea , a place of religious significance to both Judaism & christianity.
