Thanks very much Sarawelch

I will get the whole nutmegs in future. I think most things taste better, when one grates them onesself. They seem to start losing their flavour, after grating.

Wow Jikoni

I love that coffee idea. And I drink coffee, everyday. I will try nutmeg with it. As soon as i can find whole nutmegs, in the shops, i will try it.

And i like that cinnimon in coffee idea too. And, i can try it, today, because I have cinnimon, in the house.
So many things can make food and drinks so much tastier and exotic.

Rachael Ray uses it with kale and greens when she cooks with them. Just a tad.

I have an old Betty Crocker recipe that calls for nutmeg in chicken dinner pie. I guess the white sauce that you make for it (chicken broth and milk) could qualify as a bechamel sauce as you thicken it with some flour and then add the nutmeg which make the flavor outstanding along with the chicken, onion, peas, and carrots. Delicious!!

I only ever use it in Mashed potato or to the water for boiled cabbage.

some use it on top of egg custard too.

Oh yeah. Those are cool ideas too. I never thought about putting it in deserts like that. I will in future.

The newest application I have found for fresh grated nutmeg is on baked butternut squash with a bit of butter and s&p.... so simple, but yet so tasty... the nutmeg really accents the soft flavor of the squash.

 

[home cook]

Hi Sattie! Very, very interesting idea to mix nutmeg and squash! I have to try it.

After reading this thread I got the idea of trying some nutmeg in hot chocolate ... Not so great

Then again, your mileage may vary...

Well it was worth a try.
Who know what good tasting combinations have not yet been discovered yet.

I put it into a small zipper bag and throw it into the back of my spice cupboard, on the top shelf, where I forget about it, so I end up buying new ones the next time I need some.

 

[LadyCook61]

I use it for Fettincini Alfredo sauce

Freshly ground on top of a Painkiller please...
