I was walking down the grocery store aisle, and stopped by the spice area for some turmeric, and noticed nutmeg. I rarely, if ever use nutmeg, but I felt this odd twinge of remorse. Not only did its price rival the turmeric I was in the store for, but it was probably less, and even still both the turmeric and the nutmeg was worth a pittance. This stuff used to control the world. Europeans struggled to sail thousands of miles on the rattiest ships to make landfall on the most remote parts of the world to find nutmeg. They were willing to die, conquer, and enslave for it (could you imagine risking death because you wanted to get slightly better tasting food?). The world's first and most powerful corporation in the world was born from it. The English, Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, French, etc. all competed heavily for it. It motivated the greatest race for empire, and colonialism in human history. It pushed human technology to its breaking point at a time when science and technology were hardly even proper concepts. And now it sits in little vials for less than $5 on a grocery store spice rack. It's like if you passed by Bill Gates on the street, only you found out he was penniless and a heroin addict. It was as if I could feel it scream, "Hear me, I used to be important once, I used to rule the world! I deserve so much more than this pitiful spice rack. I am a King, a God!" But there it sits, forgotten.

As a teen I tried to get high off nutmeg.
It kicked in like 8 hours later, which is apparently normal for nutmeg. My eyes were bloodshot beyond belief. I have never seen someone's eyes as red as mine were.
Other than that I felt a little dizzy and heavy but I wouldn't say good.
1/10 would not recommend, never did it again, I won't even eat nutmeg in eggnog or whatever the fuck people even use it for.

when i was a kid and got home from school i'd always make a hot chocolate drink(milo) in a mug, a white bread roll with margarine heated in the microwave and a small stack of biscuits (cookies), usually plain type and i'd just straight up plop the biscuits in the drink so they became mush and i'd eat the bread then drink most of the drink then eat the mush with the spoon
literally did this into my teens

>>553290thats cool, I only buy my spices dried since im too lazy to dice them. I like using paprika with chickpeas and tofu i think it goes good there, but ive been vegan for a while so maybe it tastes weird if your used to it on meat

>>553290I tried dicing ginger recently and its so much better than the powder I wish I had done this sooner. It's like going to diced garlic from garlic powder, which I already refused to use so I'm not sure why I was okay with using powder ginger.
