[Sca-cooks] Nutmeg poisoning

[Daniel & Elizabeth Phelps]

Was written:

Please remember that this was for 18 x 13 inches of baklava.  That means one 
tablespoon per 9 x 13 ... which makes more than 50 individual pieces.  That 
meas 1/50th of a tablespoon of nutmeg per piece.  I eat more than that on my 
breakfast oatmeal

My response:

It is my understanding that in certain quantities nutmeg has an effect that 
makes it a "legal high" albeit a rather dangerous one.

Not my drug of choice indeed, but quite nice when used as a spice.
