The real tragedy of black pepper is that no one eats it as fresh berries. I was in a hot area suitable for growing it and had the berries before they get dried into pepper corns and they were amazing! Spicy and a bit sweet and nothing like the dried version.

If only they weren't so hard to grow outside certain zones

Interesting!

Due to the influence of Tasting History (Max Miller), this year I bought long pepper for use in a few recipes (currently marinating some shawarma) - that's an interesting flavour, also a bit sweeter (dried) than (dried) round pepper.
