  1. Not the same thing, but I recently bought a small jar of “green peppercorn in brine from the western ghats of kerala” (yes, literally what it says here n the label), and it’s quite good. — I love eating the peppercorns by themselves individually and they’ve got a different kind of bite. 😛 imported from India. Brand: Ishka Farms. Recommended.

  2. Thank you! That is such a useful tip. I'm that rare weirdo, who usually forgoes pepper altogether and just adds a hint of chili to dishes. Precisely, because I don't like those strong unpleasant flavor components you mentioned.
    Maybe this way, I can actually enjoy pepper.

  3. Why on earth would I want my black pepper not have a bite??? Pepper on streak is great exactly the first way he described. The bite is a big part of why it's great. I wouldn't even stoop to calling pepper "spicy." I buy black pepper is huge quantities because it can be used heavily without much consequence imo.

  4. I don’t want the pepper to be less spicy but I’m always covering everything I eat with chili crisp, various hot sauce, chili oil, all kinds of chili powder, raw fresh crushed garlic, or fresh grated ginger.

    Literally everything has its own spicy topping. Not even ice-cream is safe.

  5. Piperine is a/the part of black pepper that actually aids in digestion. It helps move various food chemicals across the gut cell surface and into the blood stream. Wouldn't want that happening now would we. Each to their own I guess. In times long ago large doses of pepper were used to cover up taited or rotten meats. I prefer actually tasting the flavor of meats not having it covered up in a nod to the days of rotten tainted meat.
