I take back what I said earlier. I checked out my ghee on the tip of a
spoon and found the flavor to be gross, sorta. Not _really_ gross, but
sorta gross. But it did have a slight flavor nuance of pure creamery
butter ;-)
You're right, ghee probably isn't going to win awards when served on a
tortilla. I lost touch 'cause haven't used ghee as a spread for a long
time (I'm not much into eating processed grains like bread or tortillas).
I'll stick with cooking with ghee because it bahaves well in a hot pan,
and has no trans fats. Even olive oil has some trans fats, and these
increase when the oil breaks down while being heated.
Several folks have requested a copy of the one-page "What's Ghee, McGee"
and I'll include you on its distribution for your interest.
