Spice Trip - Season 1 Episode 4
In Britain we occasionally sprinkle nutmeg on rice pudding; but in Grenada the spice is so ever-present it features on the national flag. Stevie Parle and Emma Grazette head to the Caribbean island and learn that the country's main export, dubbed 'black gold' by locals, is believed to add more than just flavour to food. Grenadians not only use nutmeg daily in food, it also symbolises national pride, virility and even life itself. They discover that the traditional dishes, oil down and mannish waters, are both infused with nutmeg and served exclusively to men because the spice is believed to have aphrodisiac qualities. They join in as the whole island parties in celebration of Olympic gold medalist Kirani James. And Stevie and Emma create nutmeg roast chicken with squash and spinach; fiery jerk spiced pork; and creamy buttermilk puddings with honey nutmeg peaches.
