White Pepper
I still can’t believe that a stone fruit (yes pepper is a stone fruit, who knew) that built empires a few hundred years ago can now be bought for next to nothing at the local supermarket! The world’s most used spice is also my favourite, its sharp taste is different to that of chili but…
