Default Black pepper again

I mentioned about the Kampot pepper about a week ago. I did another
taste test today. One of the best ways to taste pepper is to put some on
watermelon. So, since we have the melon, I did a comparison.

Our normal pepper mix is about 70% Tellicherry black pepper. 10% each of
white, pink, green. The others are more for looks than taste.

So, on one piece of watermelon I put the usual blend, the other I put
the expensive Kampot. My finding were each was much different. The
blend of peppers had nice flavor and no real heat. The Kampot had
little flavor, but much more heat.

On a 1 to 10 scale for heat, I'd put the blend at barely a 2, the Kampot
a 5, cayenne would be a 10.
