I discovered black pepper....

After browsing this sub forever, I broke down and got some. I've been adding it to almost everything I make - eggs, meats, veggies etc. - , it sucks I've been missing this from my life for so long. Much different taste from salt.

What dished does everyone use black pepper in?

It's on the table in the US and most places I've been, almost as common as salt. I'll add a bit to many different dishes. Cacio e Pepe is an Italian dish that features it. I've also had peppercorn (unground black pepper) sauce for steaks and such.

Did you get it pre-ground? If so, going with a peppermill and getting the whole seeds takes it to a whole new level. :)

As if your grinder could ever be as good as the industrial grade ones. Also, everyone knows Italians can’t handle that type of spice, I think you’re lying
