I had to go to the Nordstrom Cafe to pick up some Tomato Soup for my Mom this afternoon while at the mall, and I noticed that they had Butternut Squash soup as well. Since I'm such of fan of squash, and I love any and all Butternut Squash soups, I decided to get some for myself.

Let me just start off by saying what a huge mistake my order was. Nordstrom Cafe over flavors their Butternut Squash soup with Nutmeg. I cannot begin to describe in words how much I don't like Nutmeg. Not only does it taste bad to me, but it also doesn't agree with my stomach. I attribute my negative reaction to Nutmeg because at higher doses it can cause nausea and even convulsions, and is considered toxic. Since I am hyper-sensitive to many things, a Nutmeg sensitivity does not surprise me.

I'm sitting here now at my desk with a half-eaten cup of soup and a case of the heaves. To top it off, there were several stray Caraway seeds on my crostini! Yuck!
