Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 i just buy coarse ground pepper to use in cooking... it might actually be medium grind, i am not sure. i know i like it to have bigger flecks. There are several different types of delicious peppercorns. i need a new pepper mill because mine is a dud right now, but back when it worked well i liked to put different color blends of peppercorns into it. i just used that for dressing up my own serving and as a table condiment. Here is a nice site that describes some of the different flavors of peppercorns out there: http://searchwarp.com/swa5690.htm ~ pt ~ Yesterday is ashes; tomorrow wood.

I use a lot of it so the pepper mills drive me batty since I would have to grind til hell froze over and that isn't useful. The organic I get is a medium grind so that is nice, but thought maybe there was something about the pepper buying that I was missing. Are there different types as in salt?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Now I have to go spend more money and go find colorful and varied peppercorns. Thanks a lot. My salt and pepper mill work, but I don't think the Celtic salt would work in it due to the moisture content. Thanks for the help. I like just the coarser ground pepper for cooking and have used the mill on the table. I seem to be the only one around here into pepper. I ran out of white pepper many years ago and never replaced it, but think I will now since I have to go pepper hunting as sometimes it is distracting in a soy cream soup. Looks like bugs fell into the soup. Oh, yes, the Eskimo must have been a Buddhist Eskimo. linda - ~ PT ~ i just buy coarse ground pepper to use in cooking... it might actually be medium grind, i am not sure. i know i like it to have bigger flecks.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 PT and linda, You really need to have white pepper I think it has a unique flavor and is hotter than black pepper. I mostly use it in Asian and Cajun/Creole cooking. Love it! Didn't even realize people use it for it's ability to hide in food.

Learned how to do that effectively when the kids were little. How else can you get them to eat something someone else or their dad hates? Dads are so fun...they infiltrate the little ones minds with their own prejudices and mom is left to be the baddy. LOL Are you buying it already ground or white peppercorns? > linda Yes, you are right. That skill comes in handy when feeding kids AND dads! LOL I am lucky to be married to a man who will eat ANYTHING! The only thing he's verbal about not liking is sugary frosting on cakes and I guess the kids could use some infiltration of that sort! I have spoken to many kids who say they hate something and when you question further you find out they've never tasted it and that it's like you said, something mom or dad hates. That's too bad. I buy the white pepper already ground and it's a really super fine grind. Like a powder almost. Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Okay Shelly, i will buy some on my next shopping trip; with a recommendation like that how can i refuse. *lol* Now do you buy it already ground in tins? i never bothered with it before because i just assumed it was for asthetic reasons that people used it. On FoodTV and cooking shows the cooks usually add it to white or light colored foods and they always comment that they do it so you don't see the black flecks. i didn't realise it had a spicier more intense flavor. Thanks for the heads up! i love how i am always learning new things from you folks. ~ pt ~ The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. ~ Henry Miller ~~~*~~~*~~~> , " Shelly " <anislandgirl wrote: > > PT and linda, > > You really need to have white pepper I think it has a unique flavor > and is hotter than black pepper.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Actually, it's probably a good thing I don't have a Penzey's nearby. I don't think my spice cabinet could hold all of it.
