I'm ok with mace (not adverse to it like I am to nutmeg) and I love
allspice. I think nutmeg way too strong/dominate, even in the tiniest
of amounts. Go figger. Can't say why I don't feel the same way about
mace. Maybe it's because I'm not asked to throw it into egg recipes.
I dunno.

My "go to" nutmeg substitution is allspice. It's still a "sweet
spice", but much mellower. However, I won't use it in Quiche
Lorraine.
