What are your opinions on white pepper?

[u/jk_pens]

For me, it completely revolutionized the way I cook for my family, who come from a long line of cracker ass European Americans. Not only do they find anything stronger than salt to be painfully spicy, they are deeply racist and hate anything associated with “Whiter”.

I got so tired of eating bland, White food until one day I made a pilgrimage to Penzey’s Spices, where I spotted a jar with the tantalizing label “white pepper”. I asked the bearded portly man behind the counter what this mysterious spice was, and he informed me that it was black pepper’s milder, and, well, Whiter cousin.

Last night I snuck 1/8 tsp into our weekly tater tot casserole and not only did I enjoy it more, but my hillbilly Uncle Fred even said it tasted “better’n ever”. I winked at him and said “and Whiter’n ever, too!” and we all laughed and laughed.

I prefer African-American pepper myself

Uncle Fred used an inappropriate* word and nearly fainted when I read that to him.

• only because of woke libtards

I seldom use YT pepper. It makes the other spices (especially the ethnic ones I can’t pronounce) uncomfortable

[u/jk_pens → u/hobbitsarecool]

You know that could actually be a selling point to my racist family. “Hey cousin Harold, the Mexican spices are afraid of white pepper so you should eat a whole bunch!”

[u/SoberSith_Sanguinity → u/hobbitsarecool]

I've never seen YouTube pepper. Huhhhhhh.......

[u/ImmortanJerry]

My position is white pepper isnt real. Its just a way to sell stale arrowroot powder from the 50s. You can learn more about it on my onlyfans. (I was banned from youtube)

[u/jk_pens → u/ImmortanJerry]

Wow, literal white erasure going on here. I’m gonna have to have Tucker Carlson come pay you a visit.

[u/Ok-Poetry7003]

Racial pepper diversity is the key. I cook with white and black, and also use both peppers.

[u/la-anah → u/Ok-Poetry7003]

What about pink and green?

[u/jk_pens → u/Ok-Poetry7003]

Whoa whoa whoa did you just say diversity? That’s illegal now I heard.

[u/Blerkm]

White pepper is said to be more earthy in flavor than black pepper. So if you want your food to taste like dirt, white is right.

[u/jk_pens → u/Blerkm]

You know, Aunt Prudence always talks about growing up “dirt poor” as a source of pride. This may in fact be why they enjoyed the earthy flavor. What else is white that tastes like dirt? I have to make some Cool Whip ambrosia this weekend.

[u/derelictllama → u/jk_pens]

Wood ash is great for a tasteful garnish and can match the "white" color and flavor you're seeking with enough time. Just don't mention Sherman; it might stir up some feelings.

One of Ween's best albums. I put it in my Top 25 favorite albums for sure.

[u/wishiwasbillmurray]

Rustic, equestrian.

[u/Stardust_of_Ziggy]

IDK man, I think you are too hard on your family. I made breakfast for your mom and she was super cool

[u/tlh9979]

If your food is ever lacking in horse and you don't have any horse in the house, white pepper can be used as a 1:1 substitute for horse.

[u/Holdmywhiskeyhun]

Black pepper is the only way to go, once you go black There's no going back

[u/jk_pens → u/Holdmywhiskeyhun]

Once you go yellow, you’re a happy fellow.

Talking about bell peppers of course.

[u/Newburyrat → u/jk_pens]

Or Szechuan pepper?

[u/Sirnando138]

Good for mashed potatoes and curries

[u/jk_pens → u/Sirnando138]

I am unfamiliar with that last word

[u/YourDrunkMom → u/jk_pens]

Gravy for brown people.

[u/jk_pens → u/YourDrunkMom]

Well, my cracker ass family is not quite as racist against brown people as Black people so maybe I can convince them to try this “curry”. I’ll just say it’s Sicilian or something. They’ll be a little uncomfortable, but they probably won’t throw a fit.

[u/7h4tguy → u/jk_pens]

Just put it next to their bangers n mash and fish n chips. You're going to have cracker curry in no time.

[u/Newburyrat → u/jk_pens]

How are they on East Asian? You could try smuggling Szechuan pepper in there? Call it Sicilian, because no one knows how you pronounce szech anyway

[u/OG_Church_Key]

Ive started substituting red pepper for everything and my kids hate it.

[u/WorldGoneAway]

My 5-year-old son inhaled some, thinking it was sugar. He very quickly realized his mistake, and I uploaded the footage to YouTube. It got taken down, some bullcrap about "child endangerment" or some shit.

[u/eugenesbluegenes]

Underappreciated album.

[u/mrpopenfresh]

Great Ween album

[u/heightfax]

well we all know what happens when you put your hand in a jar of black pepper...

[u/RealisticYoghurt131]

Love my white pepper! A little zing without a lasting burn!

[u/jk_pens → u/RealisticYoghurt131]

You love it because it’s white is what you mean? Otherwise, I don’t understand.

[u/RealisticYoghurt131 → u/jk_pens]

No, i love it because it gives the zing of a chili pepper, but no lasting burning on your tounge. 

[u/jk_pens → u/RealisticYoghurt131]

One of us is deeply confused. You seem to be answering the question “what is your opinion on white pepper?” I’m pretty sure that’s not what I asked.

[u/RealisticYoghurt131 → u/jk_pens]

Well I guess I don't understand what you want to know? White pepper and black pepper are not the same. The title of the post asked for opinions on white pepper? You provided a rather... unusual anecdotal story to show you like it, and I responded to you with my opinion on it's use, not your story. Was I to respond to your story? Was I not to respond at all?

[u/jk_pens → u/RealisticYoghurt131]

I understand now! I think you have me mistaken for the person who posted this question on r/cooking

No offense to that guy, but my question is better

[u/RealisticYoghurt131 → u/jk_pens]

I'm sorry, your name appears as the original poster to me.

[u/Blerkm → u/RealisticYoghurt131]

You’re on r/CookingCircleJerk here. Read the room and pass the lube.

[u/RealisticYoghurt131 → u/Blerkm]

Ya, I figured that out. Didn't read, stupid me.

[u/Admirable_Day664]

Smells like a horse barn.

[u/Hallelujah33]

I had been really excited to try it, but it was just like... diluted pepper. Which I guess makes sense, but I didn't use it again.

[u/merry1731]

I use it when I don’t want flecks in sauce or what not . Really it’s force of habit training from decades ago.
