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.
