Mace?
« on: September 09, 2022, 08:10:41 pm »
Mace (ground) is not mentioned in very many recipes that I have.  However, an uncle who hung around Hollywood asked a chef at one of the glamorous hotels there what he used to make his hamburgers special.  Ans: ground mace.

I've used it ever since.  It does add a special taste.

You?

maybe it got popular there because of the Chinese immigrants that came around the time of the gold rush in CA.

I think it's fairly common in German sausage recipes. I use it for Fleischkäse.

I had to look up Fleischkäse, but from the Wiki description, it appears to be very good.  I also add it to steak as well as hamburger.  The loaf meat looks similar to mortadella Italian meatloaf/sausage, which I usually eat cold and thinly sliced.

Yeah i think mace is due for a comeback. It seems (in UK cooking anyway) like quite an old-fashioned thing that no-one under the age of 60 has heard of. It's very tasty.

I use it to make 'Pontack' which is a spiced elderberry vinegar that ages beautifully into a sort of Olde English version of balsamic vinegar/worcester sauce.

I was just looking at the packet of mace last week and thinking I should find more things to use it in.
