Nutmeg is a Stupid Jerk
Red Momo sent me this from McSweeney's, in response to our blog conversation about offensive foods. Nutmeg should be punched in the face.
Q: Cinnamon or nutmeg?A: Cinnamon is a nice spice people are comfortable consuming throughout the year, sprinkled either on toast or in a delicious coffee beverage. Nutmeg is a nasty, gritty substance that wants nothing to do with us in the spring or summer but demands our favor come November, only to disappear to the back of the shelf for another year. Why do we continue to accommodate this so-called seasoning? Nutmeg is a stupid jerk.

This is true, although, I do enjoy some nutmeg sprinkled on my egg nog!

Nutmeg is like the friend who has some redeeming qualities, but you can't stand being around for too long or too often. Small doses keeps the relationship winsome.
