================================================== ======

Sheldon is correct:

Kummel (KIHM-uh; KOO-muhl) Created in Holland and now also produced
in Germany, kummel is a colorless liqueur flavored with a panoply of
herbs and seeds including caraway, cumin and fennel. Its name comes
from the midle-high German kummel which means "cumin seed" -

( who has been using kummel and caraway interchangeably for many
years)
Thank you Sheldon
