Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum that is used in both sweet and savoury foods. While Cinnamomum verum is sometimes considered to be "true cinnamon", most cinnamon in international commerce is derived from related species, which are also referred to as "cassia" to distinguish them from "true cinnamon".
Cioppino refers to a famous seafood stew from the United States, particularly at San Francisco. Ciopinno is made from different kinds of seafood and edible shells, such as shrimp, clams, mussels, crabs, and any available fish with a broth which is flavored with tomatoes, white wine, garlic and spices and herbs like, chilis and pepper.
Cioppino is often accompanied with a bread when served. It is one of San Francisco's Soul Food and also one of its favorite foods.
