Ever since I was a child I have hated the taste and smell of this spice. Everyone else in my family loves and enjoy it in their porridge, shake or certain drink. For me it just spoils the taste of whatever it is used in. My mother used to have to take out my portion of whatever she's going to add the nutmeg to. Do you like nutmeg? Is there any special food that you like it in? Is there any spice that you particularly do not like? Incase you are not sure waht nutmeg is heres a link with a little information. www.culinarycafe.com/Spices_Herbs/Nutmeg.html - 20k

I'm ok with nutmeg on rice pudding but why do they always have to put such a load of it in dishes that have ricotta ? Whats the point of having a meal that is totally overpowered by the taste of nutmeg? You may as well just sprinkle the spice on your tongue... tho' I'd rather not! No, I'm not keen on it.

Yes, it really is a very strong spice. Just a touch and that should be enough for any dish or drink. I still have some nutmeg bath oil and I was surprised it was so pleasant when used for that purpose. I thought I would have had the same reaction I do when its used in foods but really didnt. Thanks for sharing Wizzy .
