Inspired by the onion haters thread...
I just have to say that I have decided that that pepper is the most foul thing ever devised to be put in, or on, food!
It is pungeant, and burny, and sour...
Okay, I can handle a sprinkle or two on some things. But who else just cannot stand too much black pepper. I never realized just what it was that made me hate most of my MIL's cooking, until I realized that EVERYTHING she cooks is just inundated with black pepper. Grilling a steak, dump it on... The other day she had made a pot of a beefaroni type thing, and by the time I got to the bottom, my mouth was almost burning, and I could actually see all the pepper in the juice in the bottom of the bowl. My DS didn't even want to eat it. She even peppers up a basic dish like Macaroni and Cheese.
I mean C'mon... If you just happen to LIKE that much pepper, then that is why we invented pepper shakers to be placed on the table! Why should everyone be subjected to such nastiness.
And, this trend is now appearing everywhere.
Order your steak or sandwich with fries at many sit down restaurants... They come smothered with pepper.
We tryed Johnny Corino's a few weeks ago, and you could actually SMELL all the pepper they were using in there. It didn't help that by the next day, DH and I both came down with that stomach bug. And now just the thought of pepper makes my stomach kind of turn.
Okay, rant over!!!
