Anyone else use this to season your food?
I have found it surprising how hot it can make food, if you use alot of it, and cook it a long time.
Is their any country where heavily peppered food is common?


Guess not, I'm a freak. 😞

Black pepper is a must on red beef. And it goes well with pasta too.

Or try mashed strawberries with balsamic vinegar, sugar, mint and black pepper. Delicious!

Black pepper? Are you making this up? I have never heard of this black pepper you speak of.

I think it's actually white pepper pretending to be black. 😕

I usually use a blend of black and white pepper, although at the moment I have a blend of black, white, green and red pepper. I use it for almost everything I cook.

I think it is quite popular in italy. If you go to an italian resteraunt, they are always coming up offering you black pepper.

Black pepper is not really hot when you compare it to habanero peppers used by most eastern and south american cultures. But it is very tasty. If you want to get the black pepper taste alone without the 'heat' try using the whole black peppercorns. When cooked they release the flavour but not the heat .. but dont bite them.

I have eaten them in peppercorn sauce - you get it on steaks sometimes.

Fresh Ground Black Peppercorns on Pasta, on Omelette's (edit - and in Scrambled Egg), in Curry, on Salad Leaves, or on Red Meat. Yum.

Encona for heat, although birds eye chilli's for a purer home cooked heat.

Fresh tomatoes and cloves of garlic, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with black pepper, bake it in the oven and serve with crusty bread. Simple food is often the best 🙂

EDIT: I don't use salt, but some people like to salt this too.
