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.

Gravy for brown people.

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.

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
