Quoted message said:Although I've always liked pepper, I've never really
experimented with different kinds. Usually just the
cheapo peppercorns at my local grocery store. Thought
I'd branch out though and bought some tellicherry last
week,
Quoted message said:then on top of that bought a new peppermill. This one was
exciting - it ground the corns in a variety of ways -
from coarse to fine, however I wanted it. But it came
with coloured peppercorns and I noticed a huge difference
in taste.
Dried green peppercorns don't taste very good IMO. Buy the
green ones brined. Red/pink pepper corns, meh.
Where the peppermill works wonders, IMO is with good,
fresh black and white peppercorns of various strains.
Subtle differences. I'm partial to white, freshly and
finely ground.
Quoted message said:There is indeed a huge difference in flavor. ;-)
Fresh vs. ground, yeh.

I only use the 4 or 5 color pepper mixes now, and in
a grinder.
Chacun son gout. I like the depth of fresh ground but as I
said I stick pretty much with white or black.
Quoted message said:I don't buy pre-ground with the exception of the salt free
lemon pepper that I use a lot of, but that's not the same
thing. <G>
Nohow, noway. <g>
I have to buy/keep on hand pre-ground black pepper for when
my father-in-law visits since he's got a full set of
artificial choppers and no matter how finely I grind my
fresh pepper he still claims it gets between his falsies
[shaddup Sheldon] and his gums.
Of course having p*ssed off his daughter I sincerely doubt
he'll be visiting again anytime soon so perhaps I can dump
that sawdust.
Best,
Marc
