So like, donuts, pancakes, pies, coffee, rice pudding (a personal favorite), cookies, quick breads, normal breads (if you have the patience and the yeast), really all baked goods. Honestly, if you try it and like the taste, I would try it in savory things as well, maybe add it to soup? Omelette? Don’t knock it till you try it ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
"Slightly sweeter than mace, nutmeg is essential to bechamel sauce and also goes well with baked or stewed fruit, custards, eggnog, punches, curries, sauces (particularly onion-based and milk sauces), pasta, and vegetables (especially spinach)"

for an adult, usually 1 tablespoon (14g), but it depends on your body mass, rather than age.
the effects start happening within 2-6 hours after ingestion, so you won't know you've had too much until it's too late.
so I would say, the maximum amount for a child would be around 1 teaspoon (5g) or less total, including all the food and drinks that have it during the next 6 hours.
really small amounts, it might not be safe for children.
for teens, I would maybe bump that up to 2 teaspoons (10g) maximum, but you are cutting it close. I would really start cutting off the nutmeg at 1.5 teaspoons (7g), especially if you are on the smaller side.
so anything above those numbers would probably be too much
"In one case, an eight-year-old child ate just 14 g of nutmeg and died from the effects, according to A.K. Demetriades, M.D., of University College London Hospital"

if you're actually planning something, be very careful, since I can't stop you.
make sure to measure the exact amount of nutmeg per serving, if you make the food yourself, and I would suggest to label the amount
but it would be better if it was only teens and young adults, since kids might not track how much nutmeg they are eating.
Honestly, who even tracks how much food you eat at a party, this is a bad idea, I would die if I went to a party like that.
where can i buy nutmeg? Sounds fun to have a party with nutmeg as main ingredient
