Sitting at the festive table, Sara greedily cut her teeth into her mother’s famous apple pie and immediately understood: something was wrong. A nuance of taste that Sarah could not even briefly articulate raised suspicions.
“I’ve always been the one in the family who perceives smells and tastes the most, so it’s no wonder that out of everyone I was the only one who could taste the strange taste of pie,” Sara tells Newsweek.
After taking the first bite, Sarah immediately asked her mother if she had changed anything in the pie recipe. Maybe used a different spice mix? There was a weird nuance to the flavor of the pie, like a hint of chalk or something.
Mom adored that she did everything as usual, and at first even laughed at her daughter’s questioning full of suspicion.
After a while, mom remarked: if you think about it, maybe the grated nutmeg was a little sticky, but otherwise – no changes in the baking process.
Sarah was shocked. She had heard that nutmeg was poisonous in large doses. Sarah was even more shocked when she examined the jar of grated nutmeg. It turns out that nutmeg had already expired… 23 years ago!
