The first time I had pepper was probably on an omelette and it just tasted so bitter to me. I love (LOVE) spicy foods and hot sauce but i figured black pepper just was not my thing except for a little in the pot when i’m cooking.
Out of curiosity the other day I put fresh cracked pepper on some canned fish and rice I had–and instantly had an epiphany. Now I can’t stop putting a shit load of pepper on anything I eat. I even put it on some microwave curry that was plenty flavorful put just got even better. It’s common wisdom that people’s tastes change as they get older, but this is ridiculous. Anyone relate?
