Here?s the deal: I?m planning to give away one of the mills in my
collection to a friend, but I want to keep the superior mill. Question is,
what makes a superior mill? There are marked differences in the way all of
my mills produces ground pepper, including the smell, texture and flavor
of the pepper it produces ? not to mention how fast it produces that
pepper. If you consider yourself to be something of an ?expert? on pepper
mills, your opinion about what makes a superior mill is welcome, in
helping me decide which of these two mills below is the better product.
(Tests of both mills were conducted with the very same blend of white and
black peppercorns, and the finest setting on each mill).

Peugot::
?????-

TYPE: variable grinding mechanism

TEXTU Pepper has a standard texture that looks like grains of sand.

SPREAD: Pepper is more spread out as it falls out.

SMELL: More subtle.

COLOR: Lighter in color.


Trudeau:
??????-

TYPE: 3-position grinding mechanism (fine, med, coarse)

TEXTU Pepper is not as even but has a fine powder-like texture. (Note:
I recall the instructions that came with this mill mentioning something
about the special way it grinds the pepper ? if I recall correctly, I
believe it said it ?chops? the peppercorn rather than grinding it.
Presumably, its design (called ?Neove Design) is intended to be superior
to traditional designs. The ?superiority? issue is what I?m putting up for
debate here. All I can say for sure is it grinds pepper differently than
any other mill I?ve used).

SPREAD: Pepper falls out in a more concentrated area.

SMELL: Different in smell than Peugot. I would say stronger, more pungent.

COLOR: Darker in color (remember: the exact same peppercorns were used,
and several tests of each mill were run, each with the same results!).

OUTPUT: Produces a greater output for the same effort (in other words,
pepper comes out faster and in greater quantity for the same amount of
cranking).

If, after using both mills, you have no preference between them, then what
difference does it make which one you keep? And why would you care what
anyone else thinks of your personal pepper mills? I doubt anyone is going to
leave your table in a snit because you didn't have their preferred pepper
mill on the table.

I think the poster is right on target. Your original post was one of the
funniest in a long time - I mean, such obsessing over pepper mills! I think
it might deserve a chapter in a psychiatry textbook. And then you defend
yourself so viciously - usually a sure sign that you know there was some
validity in the post you were responding to. You really don't think your
original post was just a teeny bit funny? Or maybe you are busy using an
electron microscope and liquid chromatograph to continue the analysis of the
pepper from the two mills. Be sure to notify CNN when you make your
decision.

Your dad spent HOW MUCH to get you into psychiatry? It must have been a
major disappointment for him, when you proved to be too stupid to pass the
beginner course. The first idiot had no idea what he was talking about and
guess what? Neither do you. Maybe if the two of you get together and put
your heads together, you could pass as a single moron.

You really don't think your original post was just a teeny bit funny?

Perhaps to someone who knows nothing about pepper mills and thinks the
pound of ground pepper they got for a dollar at Safeway is just as good as
anything a mill can produce, I suppose it could be. But for me, that was
the serious part. My response to the first idiot and to you was the funny
part. For some reason, I had the crazy notion that the largest cooking
equipment newsgroup on usenet was where you could find people who were
passionate and knowledgable about cooking equipment, and thus
discriminating enough to be able to discern say, a pepper mill from a
lemon zester. Not to mention come up with intelligent and educated
opinions about the quality of their grinds.
But all one has to do is look at the responses to that very serious query
about the mills and they can see that there is no intelligent life on this
group, no special knowledge about cooking equipment above that of the
ordinary consumer who thinks a pepper mill at a dollar store is just as
good as anything from that fancy upscale store that sells the Peugots.
Because they both put little black dots on your eggs.

Christ, you want an objective opinion about cooking equipment, you're
better off picking up a copy of Consumer Reports than to hang around this
den of losers hoping to be enlightened. Or even to stir up a rousing
debate on the merits of a piece of cooking equipment. And if you knew what
a shitrag I think CR is, you'd have some idea of how much I'm insulting
you and your like-minded comrades. I'm really the one who's been amused by
all this, because the amount of ignorance in all those who responded is
really quite risible. But laughing at the foolishness of ignorant fools
putting their foot in their mouths only amuses me for so long. And anyhow,
I had already made my decision as to which mill to keep, even before I put
up the post. So its not like I NEED to stick around and play with a bunch
of ignoramuses, in the hopes of waiting until someone comes up with a
halfway thoughtful or even relevant response.

Or maybe you are busy using an
electron microscope and liquid chromatograph to continue the analysis of
the pepper from the two mills. Be sure to notify CNN when you make your
decision.

Oh my God. You're SO not funny. I can barely tell that you're trying to
be. But you probably laughed your ass off after writing that 'cos you
thought it was, didn't you, witless fool? Hint, geek: "liquid
chromatograph" doesn't belong in a joke. But not to worry, you ARE a joke.
So you don't have to try so hard to have me laughing at you.

Oh my God. You're SO not funny. I can barely tell that you're trying to
be. But you probably laughed your ass off after writing that 'cos you
thought it was, didn't you, witless fool? Hint, geek: "liquid
chromatograph" doesn't belong in a joke. But not to worry, you ARE a joke.
So you don't have to try so hard to have me laughing at you.


Thank you for proving my case beyond any doubt. You calling anyone stupid is
like Danny deVito calling someone short.

Since you don't have a technical preference, I'd probably decide on
personal preference and aesthetics. Which one feels better in your
hand? Which one looks better on your table? If you had to make the
decision on your own, which would you keep?
