You can't buy nutmeg in Kuwait - it's immoral or haram or something, along with pork products and alcohol

I once asked in a health food store for a cough medicine for T when she was about 9 months old, and the Indian manager told me that they didn't have anything but in India they use turmeric mixed with honey (never mind the no-honey-before-12-months thing).
While I think of it, did anyone know you can put honey on burns to soothe them? Burnt myself while on holiday in Oman recently, went to the pharmacy with my hand in a cup of water, and he said "don't put it in water, it'll just make it swell - use honey or butter!" I tried it (I'm always burning my fingers, usually on steam from dodgy saucepan lids) and it does work.
Lol at the BLW science cake!
