Darn, he salty about the pepper...
Gurjinder Singh get out.
Hahahahaha =)))
ha i get it lol
but terrible pun. lots of people gonna be 'salty' over that
Leave.
someones salty about pepper
Puns for days
That's one salty joke
David Bodenheimer pepper up
That joke was so-diumb.
Like your spelling.
Fun fact: In Dutch, when you want to call something 'very expensive', you'd call it 'pepper expensive'
MrsRobinNL in Afrikaans they kept that
Haha yup, “peperduur” 🤣
I’m going to drink Dr Expensive
Po poora
Fun fact: who cares
Our traditional Czech fairy tale is named "Sůl nad zlato" what means "Salt over gold." It is about kingdom. King has tree daughters. They had to say, how much they love their father. First says "I love you more then all glittering gems." Second says "I love you more then the priciest gold." And the third says "I love you more then salt." It is really nice fairy tale 😁
'I love you more than salt' 'lmaooo
A very similar thing happens in "Cap o'Rushes" which is a version of Cinderella.
A father ask her 3 daughters how much they love him, the youngest one, and his favorite, answers him that she loves him more than meat loves salt, the father gets furious thinking his favorite daughter doesn't love him so he throws her out of the house. The girl then has to disguise herself, makes a dress and hood out rushes and finds work as a scullery maid on a big house.
Thing happen, he falls madly in love with her and when they finally marry she invites her father to her wedding without telling him who she is.
She serves him meat without salt and only then he realizes how much his daughter, whom he thinks he'll never see again, he starts crying at the wedding and then she finally reunites with him
@@ItoNarasimha yeah... The king gets insulted and exiles his daughter but also bans salt in the kingdom. They destroy all the salt so that there is none. Then you kind of just observe their struggles of how food is bad and all the other problems.
Meanwhile the daughter is taken in by an old herb collector lady and live happily together.
In the end, the kind regrets it, not just kicking out his daughter, whom he loved dearly, but also his stupidity of how salt is truly valuable despite its commonality.
My favourite part is when the king visit a peasant woman who kept her salt and offers her riches and diamonds and she just kicks him out. "What am i going to put o my bread? Gems? Get off my lawn! " 😂😂
Sounds like a very long-winded way of saying "salt is very tasty"
Why ketchup and mustard?
Especially why mustard?
@@beth8775
Mustard stimulates the digestion.
But why ketchup.
It's full of sugar.
Paper Boat ketchup was only invented to make spoiled foods taste better.
It's my opinion that the more sugar you eat, the worse that bitter tastes will seem. And that goes for artificial sweeteners, really, anything that hyper-stimulates the sweet receptors. When I quit sugar and sweeteners, suddenly all the bitter aromatic flavours tasted way way nicer. I remember the first time I drank black coffee, I spat it out as if I'd accidentally drunk some industrial waste, now I love black coffee and think it's ruined by any sweeteners, sugar or milk. I now love me some good rich mustard, I get through those little pots of coleman's mustard so damn fast I don't use quite as much of it as I used to use Ketchup.
But I think a sweet tooth is acquired by eating sweet stuff often enough that sweetness loses its potency and you need more sweet stuff. Stop having the sweet stuff and you'll stop wanting it and your tastes may change as mine did. Ketchup is just about the sweetness, the sugar is the overriding taste with a bit of vinegar and tomato so it doesn't taste like literal candy, but it's all about being sweet. Tomato puree is absolutely not an acceptable substitute.
Though I don't really like the taste of pepper, I only add a hint of pepper to my seasoning mix to increase the availability of turmeric. I can't stand it when one seasoning like pepper is added in such large amounts all you can taste is pepper.
@@Treblaine
We eat way too little bitter foods.
No seeds anymore in grapes, cucumbers, melons etc anymore.
We also don't eat enough sour. All fruits, apples for example are much sweeter than in their wild form.
Everything is just sweet. It plain und unhealthy. ... and actually disgusting if you have a trained taste. ...
I don't even even need salt in my food since i get my daily dose from online games...

Salt is water soluble, Pepper is fat soluble. That's why they pair so well.
jon compu
pepper is not soluble.
Pepper isn’t but it’s chemical compound pipeline is. So yes it is fat soluble

That is nothing unique for pepper.
By the way, some of the most poisonous salts are water soluble.
@@MegaBanne Yeah, usually plant derived alkaloids can only be extracted with fats or non polar solvents.
as someone who has tried a variety of other spices in cooking and seasoning, I will admit that pepper is a very easy spice to use. It's hard to go wrong with pepper.

groans* Nice try though.
Or white pepper dust, which is more popular in southern China than coarsely ground black pepper.
sichuan pepper is the three type of peppercorns
The most common argument i see here is that pepper tastes "neutral" which is simply not true and you would know that if you ever had freshly ground pepper, the real reason is because people in the west are used to this flavour, it is expected and as such it seems normal, ask people from other places and they will tell you of wildly different spices that they use every day, pepper doesnt have any objective quality that no other spice has, salt on the other hand of course, reigns supreme.
One pepper corn ball can actually taste a little different from the same batch. Like a little chocolate.
I appreciate how he specifies “western cuisine”, because growing up in a Chinese household, we surely don’t use all that much pepper in cooking, at least for the region my family is from. We use a disproportionally large amount of garlic, scallion, ginger, and cilantro instead 😂
Here in Colombia is similar, but we also use tomatoes and cumin.
@sprock absolutely no chance that garlic is as commonly used in the west. Chillis I could see for some households, but many genuinely are those "black pepper is spicy chilly is too much" in the colder parts of the west. When you look at western recipes, most still toss in black pepper even if it doesn't make sense. I don't know what world you're living in, but I wish I was in it
@@AmalingAmericans are really weird, im my country we eat so much garlic (its delicious) and all kinds of pepper hot and non hot, that we have a reputation. Ironic given we are called vampires.

Because favouring pepper at all is arbitrary.
Pepper is not just black pepper, there is green pepper and also white pepper. White pepper cost 2x more than black pepper. All those comes from the same plant, just processed differently...and all taste different too...from some one planted pepper
pink pepper is also a thing, you can buy 4 season pepper that has white/black/pink/green all in one, its the only type of pepper i use
I made masala chai tea as favours for my Christmas-themed engagement party, and I added green and red peppercorns, it looked so cute! :D

Awesome episode! Thanks for suggesting the embrace of other flavors. In fact, in most Moroccan local restaurants cumin and chili powder is served with salt, but not pepper. I love your videos, big thanks, and keep them coming.
Pepper adds a background flavor to almost everthing I cook. It rounds out the flavor, even if you don't always notice it. A lot of spices can be used as background flavors, that help set the scene for the main ingredients.
If you use pepper for "background" flavor then you american dont have proper pepper, especially fresh ground one.

And himalayan rock salt.... Tastes different... But i personally like it over the regular.
K A R T I K I don’t like pink Himalayan simply cause it’s a trend. Trends are really stupid. Especially when people think a pink rock is special or even magical 🤦
Plus I’m perfectly fine with Sea salt. It tastes great and doesn’t have those anti-caking agents like in table salt. :)
@@briancooley8777 But sea salt isn't always iodized, so you should be careful about that. Also let the man enjoy his Himalayan rock salt. I mean I agree that it's dumb to think rocks have magical powers, but I think he just likes it because of the taste.

Get the book Salt that he lists. I read it years ago and then passed it around, even giving it as Christmas presents one year. You might think it would be dull, but it is anything but, it basically shows how salt shaped countries, political systems, trading all over the world, replaced money and even jump-started chemistry in some instances. Best of all the author has a great sense of humor so it keeps you hooked.
He talked about salt and peper and briefly their history but not really why peper taste is liked so mucht, or why salt and pepper are used in so many dishes as standard seasoning from a cullinairy point of view.
I feel like he talks about the subject but does not really or fully answer the question.
A2MB5 4:42
He did. He just did so from a historical, not a scientific viewpoint. Except for that bit about how essential salt is.
Its his techniche in every video he talks too much and we even forget about the actual quiestion
As he discussed in the video, it's because Pepper is an arbitrary choice, most likely influenced by the personal spice of choice of Louis IV. Unlike salt, pepper is not an essential nutrient, so there isn't really any scientific/biological basis why it's popular.
Personally, I always enjoyed the variety of spices, pepper is a great spice but it's a pale choice if your dish only contains salt and pepper.
@@yvrelna That's true, but I guess maybe it could be because of all the spices, the peppercorn has one of the most "neutral" flavours? It's just piquant, it doesn't taste strongly of anything but heat. Other spices have stronger flavours that don't go with everything. Peppercorn goes with pretty much everything. It tastes good with fish, good with white or red meats, good with roots, vegetables, leaves, even fruits like tomatoes or strawberries. It's a boring but very safe choice.
German cuisine recognises three basic spices: Salt, pepper and Maggi.
lol, so true its like the third most commonly used spice in germany... im german myself.

One of my favorite lines from the tv show Roseanne was when Jackie was cooking for the family while Roseanne was injured and asked her where she kept her spices. Roseanne replied "in the salt & pepper shakers". Hilarious!
Salt and pepper seem to be the only spices that taste pretty much the same when applied to food regardless of it being before or after it was cooked. Like you wouldnt season a steak with more garlic powder after you already finished cooking it but if you wanted to add some more salt/pepper it wouldn't taste much different compared to as if you'd added more salt/pepper before
One spice to rule them all, one spice to find them. One spice to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

As a person whom frequently cooks with spice, I find myself agreeing with you, so many people just have salt and pepper but spice like life is more than just black and white, to be able to fully enjoy it you have to experience the full spectrum of flavor.
I love using mexican spices, even when preparing burger meat.

Sounds great, I'm more of a barbecue guru myself, the best combination of smoke and spice can really make you feel like you're in heaven.

Peppers not terrible but there are far better herbs and spices.
Boglenight it really is the 5th worst thing I've ever tasted.
My pepper shaker has cinnamon sugar in it. Has for years.
Salt and sugar makes sense for table seasonings. Also vinegar is pretty great.
One quick correction about the early European use of pepper to mask the flavor of spoiling meat: There are records dating at least as far back as the medieval period regarding thr delivery of meat. They specify quantities, times of day to be delivered, and (I believe, but doo't remember for certain) also for time between slaughter and delivery. So, they weren't eating spoiled meat anymore than than the people I saw in Guinea 20 years ago. They also didn't have refrigeration etc and simply bought their meat and fish freshly caught or butchered by the side of the road.
Why you got to hate on the black one? #BlackSpicesMatter
😂😂😂
Genius
Black spice taste delicious... #BLACKSPICEMATTERS
+Leoven no way
+Leoven haha!
It is an urban legend that medieval cooks used pepper to mask spoil meat.
Putting pepper (or any other spice) on rotten meat is indeed a HUGE myth. It never happened.
Pepper cost a shitload of money in those days. You may as well gild your rotten porkchop in gold. It does exactly the same thing - nothing - and costs about the same amount of money.
No cook in Medieval Europe would've wasted VERY EXPENSIVE SPICES on rotten meat. Not if they wanted to keep their job.
I was hoping someone would mention this. Surely a medieval household that could afford exotic spices from far-flung reaches of the globe would have no trouble procuring unspoiled meat. I doubt that any spice would do much to mask the taste of rotting flesh, anyway. Many spices do have antimicrobial properties useful in food preservation, however, which may explain their use and cultivation in the (often tropical) regions where they originated.
Maybe they came with pickled/preserved meats or something in transit. That's the only real way to get "fresh" peppercorns even today, as they decay rapidly. As with everything you pickle, it gets into the brine and adds flavor, etc.
Has to be the best guess as to how such utter bullshit got around. I mean, I sure as hell don't like pickled pig feet but I could see their appeal in a world that doesn't SHOWER.
We get to thank the 19th century, the people who gave us the horned vikings. Pre-industrial when you went to a butcher shop they would be killing and dismembering the animal there. (Google image medieval butcher, try to ignore post medieval "romanticized" images) ... In the industrial cities it started to get frond on to have whole herds of animals marching up and down the city streets, and when they started shipping ice form US, and Norway (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_trade) they moved the animal yards to the outskirts of the cities and the butchers then carted the meat to there shops. But they have to guess how much they needed and pre order and as people know this could be hit and miss so 19th century there was a real issue in industrial city of some butchers selling meat that had gone off, this is harder to tell then people think in that beef and some other meats need to be age, ideally 21 days in the "right" conditions... So people started to add aka "doctor" the meat to look and taste good.
So during the Gothic revival of the 19th century when there was a a huge boom in interest of the gold old days of the middle ages. As often happens when we look into history we see less of history but a reflection of our selves. So when Victorians look at the middle ages and asked how they doctored there meat never thinking they may not needed to.
This still happens. When you watch a modern tv or movie set in the middle ages it dark, every thing is grays and blacks and dirty. Every thing is made of dark stone. When you do the research you find that they covered everything in white plaster and painted everything in the brightest colors they could find. But in modern times dark means stern and important and bright colours means silly and unimportant so periods movies reflect that. Pastels mean romantic so most Georgian moves are in this palette, as another example etc...
This is a couple of years old, so maybe the information wasn't available back then, but spices like pepper were not used to mask the flavor of spoiled meat, but were in fact used to help prevent spoiling in the first place. A recent study confirmed that meats that are spiced before cooking prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Black pepper is fantastic. Such a great flavor. It’s the cornerstone of some of my favorite classic Italian dishes- Cacio e Pepe, and Carbonara (among many others). I will never tire of it!

You don't NEED to consume 6 grams of salt each day! That's the upper limit of the recommended daily intake!
Tira Tira I can confirm this. There is also a minimum, though. It is around 2-3g. But the problem in the western world is generally too much salt.
What is a gram
Jason Odermatt it's what civilised people use as a weight system but in case your genuinely asking 1 gram is equivalent to around 0.035 ounces
+Teethgrinder 83
A gram isn't a weight system, it's one of the units of mass used in the metric system.

In my country SEA, we prefer salt and chili in our table...
Every restaurant in my country have salt and chili, but only some place with pepper... And its white pepper, not black pepper...
The standard condiment in every food stand is salt, grinded chili sauce (sambal), chili paste, white pepper, vinegar, and lime...
Condiment in McD or KFC is salt, white pepper, and chili paste... In the past they have tomato paste too...

Was about to use the exact same comment, so just liked yours instead.
I rarely even keep salt and pepper on the table. It’s usually on the counter or spice rack. The way I see it, you should season your food BEFORE you sit down to eat. If you have to season it once it’s on the table, you didn’t season/cook it properly.
Some people are on low sodium diet so many of us cook lower salt and then let others add to their liking.
So funny! I spurned pepper my entire life, and embraced a rich world of spice just as he suggests. Last year or so, I gave it a chance and now I'm doing the opposite - using *just* pepper (and salt) on everything, and loving it, even though I know full well how wonderful it might be to use saffron or celery seed or basil! xD
For me the big switch came when I started grinding my own pepper. I grew up with preground pepper & never understood why it was such a big deal. Then I tried freshly ground pepper & realized there's a LOT of amazing flavor in pepper! It's just that the best flavors get lost quickly if it sits around already ground up very long. Now preground pepper is banished in my house, but I own 4 pepper grinders!
it should be salt, pepper, and paprika
or any combination of salt + one herb and one spice that would work

Although Pepper started in India, but we don't actually use that much pepper in our foods. In fact, our most common combination is salt and chilli. Whether it's powder, flakes, paste or whole. In fact many people, like me for example, don't ever like eating pepper.
Yes, I have read the book Salt by Mark Kurlansky. Well, I listened to the audio book, all 12 hours of it!
Black pepper isn't even that spicy...
It's a different kind of spicy, but you can certainly make soups and chili's unedible with too much and it's because it's too spicy. But, it's different than say habenero's.
It depends on the quality of your pepper. The ground black pepper you find in mass foodservice won't be really spicy unless you pour half of the shaker in your plate.

“ salt is the only rock we eat”
Babies didn’t get the memo
Can you please do a video on the oldest language.
would like to see a video on that, always been fascinated by language
oldest language is viking
+CLAY clay Francis it really isn't, I can name many languages that are much older sanskrit, proto indo European,ancient Egyptian
There is no such thing as the "oldest language". Many languages can be traced back quite a bit, but there's no first language. A video on linguistics in general though would be interesting. If you like linguistics, check out these channels: Xidnaf, The Ling Space, NativLang, and LangFocus.
I like most spices and my wife keeps one hell of a well stocked spice pantry (yes, an entire door of our kitchen cabinets are dedicated to species alone), but I am a full-fledged pepperholic. Here is something you probably never tried, but I guarantee you is amazing. The next time you have some popcorn, put a little fresh cracked pepper on it and see if that's not the most amazing thing you've ever tasted.
Would you call that...peppercorn?
This kind of videos are some of a few worth watch in yt
thank you for making this video ☺
When you started your speech about pepper I stood up slowly and put my hand on my heart.
Unless you're in Maryland, then Old Bay is the only spice you ever need.
Old Bay contains black pepper though. YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE PEPPER!
season all & Tony chachere
I think that is grammatically wrong
Lol I used to live there. Forgot about yall's obsession with Old Bay! 😂 Great stuff tho
+Penny Lane he's not saying that you won't need salt or pepper but that old bay has many spices mixed in it it's basically all you need
woah, didnt know my ancestor used pepper for 4000 years. nice.
I use pepper and turmeric together a lot, but my go-tos are either Cayenne pepper or nutmeg, depending on the dish.
I use salt and cumin/cayenne in most of my meals
Cayenne is nice on fries
I'll try that sometime
Gotta be careful with the cumin or else your whole house will smell bad

pepper is the best, you're insane
Joe: salt and pepper black and white
Green peppercorns: am i a joke to you?
Your voice tone from behind the scene at 1:23 is much better than in regular scenes. Deep and calm. Try to keep that voice :)
Being an Indian, I see spices of every colors :/
pink?
Emmanuel Exhume maybe himalaian salt? lol but i cant think of a blue one
Indian food is the best. Makes eating vegetarian actually palatable.
Yeah, we see by your english.
And smell of spices of every colour.
More diversity in spices is a good thing, but what you fail to understand is that pepper is so famous because it deserves to be. It's a unique spice in the sense that it just works very well in a lot of cases, while most other spices are better used in moderation and only in certain combinations.
Anything but pepper. Finally a worthy movement
Escoffier also helped to make salt and pepper the standard default seasoning in the West
