Nutmeg, Pala,noix de muscade, nuez moscada, noz-moscada |
The God of Heaven has created man to be every learning. The learning experience comes out best not in our classrooms of school buildings but in the very interaction of life.
Today I spoke about my country ( Grenada- yes the most beautiful place on this planet) and indeed with all my marketing I mentioned to my diverse listeners the mighty "Woman in Gold (Black)" The Nutmeg.
The funny part of the story and the learning point came from comparison of market size for nutmeg to Indonesia.
The representative from Indonesia approached me immediately stating that he does not know this spice.
We spent a while trying to muzzle the description of what I knew was Nutmeg to my new friend.
Well the conversation went into Spanish, French and Portuguese and then Google.
Well long story short, while we know nutmeg in Grenada as Nutmeg. We need to also learn that it is now known as nutmeg by several nations, including the largest producer. "Pala" the name for nutmeg in indo. language.
