Nutmeg and Mace rather underrated spices

Nutmeg is a must for the morning porridge, don't use it in a lot else, where else should I? Never used, bought or knowingly eaten anything with 'mace' in, am I missing out?

Mace is the outer covering of the nutmeg. They grow together but have different flavours.

Holland and Britain fought several savage battles over these plantations in Indonesia...the Dutch mostly won.

Don’t go much beyond salt and pepper, not needed.

Yes, lots of time, don’t see how that’s related what I said though?

Because they use flavourings other than salt and pepper.

Even a big mac has mac sauce which contains garlic and spice extracts

Fennel seeds.

Get them in the pestle & mortar, mix with sausage meat & boom. Absolutely sensational upgrade.
