How dumb would you have to be to use (never mind grate) 20 nutmeg seeds in a dish? I mean, really!

 

[cheezz]

now that's someone with a LOT of patience.... and no knuckles.

DH says it's a wonder how some folks make it through life...

 

[maycee]

I love the smell of a little nutmeg...but 20 grated and baking in the oven!??!

I would think that would drive me out of the house.

 

[curious1]

That was my first thought! It took a looong time to grate 20 of those suckers.

There are websites that tell you how to get "stoned" by inhaling/ingesting massive amounts of nutmeg

I thought that's where this story was headed.

Oh no, I see it coming now, Nutmeg Brownies will replace hashish brownies.

 

[richard-in-cincy]

I love how they're portraying this as "poisoning"

they just had a buzz on. Lots of nutmeg will do that to you. There was a fad when I was an undergraduate, and a raid on all the nutmeg at area Kroger stores, when the student newspaper ran a story on getting stoned on nutmeg.

"It's like eating Old Spice flavored sawdust" was frequently heard. ROFL.

Oh the humanity!

Yes, it's just one of the many banned items in Saudi Arabia for that reason.

 

[cindy]

Marilyn, so, how do you know of this website? Just wondering.

 

[cynupstateny]

Hmmmm- do we need to put parental controls on your computer, Missy?

 

[marilynfl]

Actually, I was searching around for Nutmeg recipes because GayleMO had sent me

a beautiful small bag full of them from the islands. Since they are usually costly for just a few, I wanted to see if there were recipes that used more than a little "grating" of nutmeg.

 

[angak]

Isn't nutmeg one of the spices not allowed in goodies sent to Iraq?

 

[orchid]

Yes, it is Ang. One of the things that just drove me crazy! So extreme.
