Coming Soon: History and Uses of Black Pepper
December 19th, 2007 by George
UPDATE 1/25/2008: My raft has drifted since posting this and “Coming Soon” may mean later this year…. oops.
I love cooking, though I don’t get to cook much. For some reason spices interest me. Coming soon I’ll write about pepper… Here’s an appetizer for you readers. Black Pepper has been used as:
- currency
- sacred offering to honor the gods
- pay taxes
- pay ransoms
More later!

This is a link to a really interesting documentary about the history of the pepper.

I *cannot* believe that my Joost needs to be installed AGAIN! So tell me, the text description of the video mentions picante & chile pepper. Is that what the video is about?
