      Why is black pepper, of all things, the one standard spice served with salt? RULES: You have to KNOW to answer. I can make nerd guesses too, so don't peppersplain to me unless you know pepper TRUTH.

      My favorite pepper "explanation" is on the straight dope site. It was more expensive than gold, so people put it on spoiled meat, as one does!pic.twitter.com/ex6CPdhImt

          A good counter to that argument tho is if you can afford super expensive pepper, you can afford non rotten meat

          I don't have it with me, but I think @FourPoundsFlour's book Eight Flavors goes in to the origins of ground pepper, unless I'm misremembering.

          (2) consumption. However spices are anitmicrobrials, so it would have actually prevented meat from spoiling. Why is salt and pepper a thing? It does come from our Anglo roots and Francophile nature, but also bc it was the first major trade route we

          (3) stole from the English after the revolution, and also because it’s spicy and umami notes beautiful compliment salt. Read Eight Flavors for more!
