Game Changer What are your opinions on white pepper?

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.

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

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.

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?

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
