On the zwieback toast box it also lists mace as one of the spices in addition to cinnamon and nutmeg. Did you eliminate this on purpose or does it taste too much like nutmeg(I haven't tasted it so I can't say) and would you adjust how much you put in the recipe if you do add it or just keep all the spices equal. I too am very disappointed that zwieback is off the market I have a wonderful recipe for walnut torte which I made a while back and that was the last I was ever able to find. I too bought the stella dora almond biscuits to try but have not made the recipe yet. Hi Irene - I leave the mace out of recipes since hardly anyone stocks it in their pantry. And yes, since it's part of the nutmeg plant, it does taste very similar. If you add it, cut back on the nutmeg by an equal amount; I think that should work. PJH
