[MR] Mystery Spice

[Jack Warren]

Milord Charles, 

   I consulted with an aquaintance who was familiar with many east African spices and with only a description (I did not have the website of which you posted before) she suggested it could be M'Bongo.
See below for definition.

In Service,
Lord Manus O'Kean
Squire to Earl Sir Robert de Rath

M'Bongo:
Atzoh plant,spice=seeds called mbongo. Aframomum citratum, a cousin to grains of paradise.
