Nutmeg has been my fascination ever since I read about English east India company whose earliest attraction was not the rich India but the spice islands of Indonesia where the Duch and English fought fought for the monopoly of spice trade . The nutmeg rich Pulau run was the only strong hold of the English which was exchanged for Manhattan is an interesting fact.

I wonder who started the rumor of it causing miscarriages? Prob some rival trader who was looking to sell more walnuts or whatever. lol
