How many grams was that? I had heard that nutmeg can be lethal in amounts more than a few grams. Were there any undisirable side effects other than bad taste, cotton mouth and red eyes? What were the main effects?

Nostradamus used to take Nutmeg in order to make his premonitions. Apparently it takes you out for almost 2 days.

I ate in in the PM, didn't feel the effects untill I went to bed. The last thing I remember, like it was a dream, was I was on the nosecone of a rocket that had just been launched into outer space. I woke up stoned and was stoned all day. No ill effects other than lasting so long. It's an old prison method of getting stoned.

Those small spice cans are 28 grams. Your mileage may vary.

It works, just the reward might not be worth the effort, here's some more info from Erowid (a great resource)
NUTMEG

Family: Myristicaceae Genus: Myristica Species: fragrans Usage:
5-20 grams of ground nutmeg is ingested. Fresh ground is best. Can also be taken in a "space paste" concoction (see below). Space paste is difficult/expensive to make and tastes like shit; however, it may actually decrease the side effects.

Effects:
Possible nausea during first hour; may cause vomiting or diarrhea in isolated cases. Takes anywhere from one to five hours for effects to set in. Then expect severe cottonmouth, flushing of skin, severely bloodshot eyes, dilated pupils. Personally I compare it to a very, very heavy hash buzz. "Intense sedation". Impaired speech and motor functions. Hallucinations uncommon in average (5-10 gm) doses. Generally followed by long, deep, almost coma-like sleep (expect 16 hours of sleep afterward) and feelings of lethargy after sleep. May cause constipation, water retention. Safrole is carcinogenic and toxic to the liver.

History:
Nutmeg was a very important trade item in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was a precious commodity due to the enormous medicinal properties of its seeds. Slaves on the ships bringing nutmeg to Europe got in trouble for eating part of the cargo. They knew that a few large kernels of nutmeg would bring them a pleasant, euphoric feeling, and relieved their weariness and pain. Nutmeg was even used when the feeble King Charles II almost died of a clot or hemorrhage. His death a few days later did nothing to detract from its useful reputation. Rumor spread through London that Nutmegs could act as an abortifacient. The ladies who procured abortions from nutmeg were called "nutmeg ladies."

Interaction precautions:
MAO inhibitor

Active Constituents:
Methylenedioxy-substituted compounds: myristicin (non-amine precursor of 3-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine [M-MDA]) elemicin, and safrole.

See, this is just like I described it:

I wouldn't recommend it. I tried it a few years ago and got really sick. I ate about half a spice jar which is a lot. It takes about 4 or five hours to kick in. It's not a pleasant or mind opening trip, more like a poisoned toxic feeling. I felt sick for weeks so I went to the doctor. My liver enzymes were at dangerous levels and my urine showed signs of kidney damage. I have had high blood pressure since. Moral of the story: Stick to weed!
