Mace & Nutmeg
The article says potted shrimps are flavoured with mace and occasionally nutmeg. What is the difference between mace and nutmeg? 77.219.231.180 (talk) 16:05, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Good question, and one that a lot of cookbooks don't really go into. The whole fruit of the nutmeg tree is a bit like a peach. Nutmeg is the "stone" (pit) part. Mace is a layer between the stone and the of the soft, squishy part. Most recipes call only for mace, some only nutmeg and some for both. Nutmeg has a stronger flavour, so I suppose whether or not to use it is a matter of taste. If we could find a definitive ref explaining this (and I have looked)  we could put it in. --Old Moonraker (talk) 06:48, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
