Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Why do we call black pepper... 'Black' pepper, but..... we never refer to salt as 'white' salt? ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Probably because there is white pepper and red pepper. Although we don't refer to regular salt as white salt, there is pink salt, iodized salt, sea salt, Kosher salt, Epsom salt and probably some other kinds/types of salt that don't come to mind right now.

Subdeacon Joe Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 First thing that comes to mind, "There's a question Alpo hasn't asked?" Next is because salt is salt. Even the fancy $42/# Pink Himalayan Salt is still salt. About the only real difference you get in salt is the grain size and shape. Pepper, on the other hand, does differ in flavor - black, white, green, and pink. The difference may be subtle, but it can alter a flavor profile. https://www.marionskitchen.com/article/types-of-peppercorn-varieties/#:~:text=Black peppercorns%2C which are the,and pungent than black peppercorns. https://www.foodrepublic.com/1293626/different-kinds-of-peppercorns/ Also, if you have a white sauce and don't want black specs in it you use white pepper. Saying, "black pepper" also lets you know not to use red or chili pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 Mom turned 96 last week. She said she's not in a mood to argue with me anymore so she just warps me over the head with a cast iron skillet........... of course, after she removes the corn bread from it. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 Rolling pins, swatters and wooden spoons are ALL formidable weapons in a Mothers hand. Us kids also spent time on the back porch, at night, DARK, with no light, ..."where the Boogie Man" can get ya. The Boogie Man is alive and well at nightime in Knoxville, TN. I've heard him make noises under the back porch just before Momma let us back in the house. WHEW..... some of those were close. We could hear the Boogie Man at the bottom of the steps. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
