The clove tree grows best in coastal areas, especially on islands. The inhabitants of the Moluccas (Indonesia archipelago, formerly known as Spice Island) planted after a child was born a clove tree. Flourished this was a good omen for the fate of the child, who was wearing to protect against evil spirits and infirmities a necklace of cloves.
Mostly, cloves are added to unground the courts, cooked more or less in length and removed before serving. As a universal spicy seasoning, you can find it in fish and meat dishes, especially in wild-and marinated meats, as well as in broths, vegetables, pickles and again with sweet fruit and compote. The carnation is also basic spices for mulled wine and so many Christmas cookies
