[Sca-cooks] Regards Nutmeg History

[Stefan li Rous]

I'm coming in late to this thread and this may have already been answered, but in case not, the review of which Johnnae speaks is in the FOOD-BOOKS section of the Florilegium as:
Nathnls-Nutmeg-rev (4K) 11/ 1/09 A Review of "Nathaniel's Nutmeg" by Johnnae llyn Lewis, CE.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD-BOOKS/Nathnls-Nutmeg-rev.html

The review is short and I've never read the book, although I may own it now. So I don't know if either touch on nutmeg as a hullucegenic(sp?) drug.

I think we have touched on this a few times in past discussions.
nutmeg-mace-msg (20K) 10/11/09 Info on the spices nutmeg and mace.

This was posted to the list a while back.  Perhaps it will help answer the 
question?

There was a run on nutmeg in the late 16th and 17th centuries.
The book to read is Nathaniel's Nutmeg: Or the True and Incredible 
Adventures of the Spice Trader Who Changed the Course of History.

I reviewed it and I think the review is in the Florilegium.
I know it's been mentioned on the list before.
