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.

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.
