[net.misc] SALT AND PEPPER

ecl@ahuta.UUCP (ecl) (11/30/84)

Every table in every restaurant and home (well, almost every) has salt and
pepper shakers.  I can understand why salt is considered such a basic
condiment, but why pepper?

Does anyone know?  Does anyone want to guess?  Does anyone want to complain
about people like me posting useless questions like this one?

Why pepper?  Its simple--pepper goes with everything except sweets and
there are even exceptions to that (pfefferneus--excuse my spelling).
Pepper ands zip and it stimulates the tastes buds.  If more people had
pepper mills, instead of shakers, I think more people would use it.

P.S.--I have a third condiment on my table.  My own blend of salt, pepper,
herbs and spices.  It helps cut down on some of the salt while adding a lot
more flavor!
