[Sca-cooks] Christmas in July...

Seconded. I would expect German influence in Hungarian cooking at that point (there's certainly evidence in the other direction), Having just completed a lot of source translations from German dating to roughly that time period, I know that muskatblüte (in various spellings) is a reference to mace. 'Baumöl' (tree oil) is also frequently used to describe olive oil in contemporary German.

 Hello Gwyn

"nutmeg flower" is actually nigella seeds,----°
Are you sure?

Nutmeg flower in german is Muskatblüte and in English Mace (which is the 
spice made from the reddish seed covering (aril) of the nutmeg seed).

Did you check out Gernot Karzers spice pages? There are the synonymes in 
almost any  language you can imagine:

http://gernot-katzers-spice-pages.com/engl/Nige_sat.html


giving the hungarian name of mace in Hungarian  as  Szerecsendió virág 
which is according to dicc nutmeg flower aka mace,...
while nigella is: Hungarian    Feketekömény, Parasztbors, Kerti katicavirág, 
Borzaskata mag

  A few
other things:  I have since found the common name out here for "nutmeg
flower" is actually nigella seeds, and I'd guess "tree oil" is actually
olive oil.
