The last time we went down for a visit he served us some beautiful fresh strawberries lightly dusted with black pepper and they were very delicious. To email, remove the obvious from my address. |

>strawberries is weird too. Even if it does taste swell. Maybe a person just has to really like black pepper in order to appreciate such things. I personally am not a fan of black pepper. The only thing I use it on is scrambled eggs or in cooked dried beans or in bean soup. It's not a heat thing either since I like jalapenos and cayenne pepper. I simply don't like the taste of black pepper all that much. |

Yup, pepper on canteloupe and a sprinkle of ginger on honeydew to accent the flavors of the melons. Rosemary -- To e-mail me remove the obvious before @ and change sinuswave to sinewave. |

Well, it's not a new, weird idea anyway. According to the British Museum, at
least. I had a copy of "the British Museum cookbook" and it claims the Romans used to use pepper a lot on all sorts of fruit. They had some pepper recipes, too, so rush out and get the book :-) Richard.
