Nutmeg or cinnamon, say (5)
I believe the answer is:
spice
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'nutmeg' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'cinnamon say' is the second definition.
(I know that cinnamon is a type of spice)
(Other definitions for spice that I've seen before include "Pungent flavouring" , "Flavouring substance" , "It creates added interest" , "Eg, turmeric" , "Aromatic flavouring" .)
