I loved this basic sawdust pepper. When I was a child.

Sounds very bland, like boomer chow.

Salt and pepper are important seasonings for different reasons. Just because they are the two most common does not mean they can replace each other.

Easy. Every kid loves sugar bombs and most dislike spicy or sour food. Sometime around 15 to 25 tastes flip, super sweet is out and spicy is in.

i'm fussier as an adult than I was as a child

Warheads are awesome until the sour runs out.

I couldn't finish something like that now, could probably do it in my teens.

those who say "meal" are cringelord retards

>>17421413
Are you okay?

>>17420733
Children crave sweet things and have basically no upper limit on what they can tollerate. Adults have more of a sweet limitation but also tollerate bitter or pungent tastes/smells much easier. Example, black coffee, beer, sharp cheddar, white pepper.

>>17421039
the fact you care about eating something adult just makes you more of a manchild.
Yes, I like my coffee and tea black. Because I like it that way.
Yes I only like sweet-spicy food because fucking hotsauce tastes like shit.
Yes, I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate.
You're not an adult for having "adult tastes"

Imagine buying pre ground pepper

You're not an adult for having adult tastes, but you're a child for not having them

no.

I grew up in a household without salt. There was no salt shaker and only sometimes did my mother take a canister of Morton salt out of storage when she was baking something that needed salt, like pie crust.

It took me like 2 decades to accept that there was a use for salt in cooking and at the table and holy fuck does it make a difference. I remember the first time I salted the shit out of my steak before grilling and it was out of this world. I realized that the one thing that made restaurant food taste so magical was just fucking salt.

your parents kept the salt hidden in storage? did they think it was poison or something?

>>17421818
same here. my mom used to use this 'low sodium' salt that tasted like chemicals and would never let me salt my food. now whenever I cook 'wow anon this tastes great!'

>>17421848
they basically considered salt to be so unavoidable that they wouldn't tolerate salt being freely available in the house. they were oversensitive to "le too much salt will kill you" thing

White pepper and msg have been a real game changer for me. Especially after I started doing 98% msg 2% I+G

>>17421862
Does the I + G make a big difference compared to straight msg? What would you say the difference is.

White pepper smells like the zoo, but tastes nice.

>>17421871
Yeah it does. Really increases the savoury taste. I too was surprised so little could improve the effects. Cheap too considering how little you use.

>>17421883
Nice. An interesting idea would be to season really healthy dishes like steamed broccoli with it. Normally bland healthy stuff turned addictivly savory.
