CHAPTER XXXVI

Spices

"WHEN we speak of spices we mean those vegetable substances of aromatic odor and hot and pungent taste that are used to heighten the flavor of food and digestion. The principal ones are pepper, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.

"Pepper is the fruit of a shrub called the pepper-plant. You have often seen those little round black grains, with such a pungent taste, that are used for seasoning certain kinds of food—sausages for example. Those are the berries of the pepper-plant just as the bush produces them."
