I am not surprised that Biggles got you started on long pepper--he is very convincing.... Asparagus always calls my name.... Hey, jasmine! Long pepper is a handsome spice--I love all the colors, shapes and textures spices come in.... Christopher–I would love it if you contributed!

I, did indeed, make a longpepper crust for my Valentine's steaks. The lavender/floral/sweet spices bouquet enhances earthy beef. In fact, the s/o believes longpepper smells of that one olde tyme breath-freshener candy/gum that comes in the purple/silver wrapper. Um...in a good way. I'm weird(perhaps) in that sometimes I just go thru my spice cabinet and sniff the bottles/baggies...maybe tasting a bit here and there...adding in a little salt as flavor conveyance. Longpepper is inviting in this respect. ...and gives your arms a workout as well grinding it up... Congratualtions on curating such a worthwhile project. There can never be enough personal anecdotes of spice use and/or histories. I hope to contribute in the future. now...I believe some asparagus is calling my name...

Congratualtions on curating such a worthwhile project. There can never be enough personal anecdotes of spice use and/or histories.

I want to be reincarnated as a big grizzly bear in my next life so I can gorge on blackberries and salmon for breakfast after a long winter's sleep.... Elizabeth--it was long pepper and black pepper, primarily, though cinnamon and clove were considered warming or hot, too. Chiles were very enthusiastically adopted when they arrived, but black pepper was still also prominent--though in Thailand, of course, they prefer white pepper. Which is the same thing as black pepper, just with the outer, black coat removed. Oooh, Doc–I -love- me some salmon.
