White pepper believes in mutual respect. If you respect white pepper, white pepper will respect you.

I use it in breading for chicken strips or whatever, but that’s it really

It is just black pepper without the husk.

wtf actually? ❤ white pepper

White pepper is just the better option, you are way more likely to hear that there’s too much pepper in a dish if it’s black and sticks out like a sore thumb.

Yeah but there is loads of dishes i want the peppery flavour but i dont want the black specks. I can think of so many white sauces i want to keep as white as possible. White pepper has it’s place if used correctly.

White pepper is the secret ingredient that makes Chinese food good. Along with another white powder.

White pepper smells like the elephant enclosure at the zoo. It’s a no for me dawg.

Not me scrolling slow and assuming HIM was going to reference chives in some way.

At first I thought this was going to be a ween joke.

I was making garlic mashed potatoes once – a chef friend hanging out in the kitchen tasted, said “Almost perfect – got any white pepper?”
I use it in Asian cooking a fair bit, Northern European recipes, and my steak spice mix – but who knew that white pepper would take any mashed potato – but *especially* garlic mashed – to a whole other level?

White pepper deserves respect. Its one of the OG fermented foods before Noma made all the white dudes like fermented foods.
Yes, your 70 year old culinary instructor said white pepper smelled bad so it tastes bad. Only use it to preserve color. They also likely made fun of kids in middle school who brought kimchi with their lunch.
Get out of here with that shit.

My personal vendetta against white pepper is that it smells like ass and any food it comes in contact with then has a hint of buttock afterwards, which then wafts about. No thank you sir.

Genuine question, has anyone heard of white pepper being called “the feminine pepper”? I dropped this phrase to a couple of friends over the years and they said they had never heard it. Did I pick that phrase up from someone who was just talking out their ass?

Better: I wonder if the chives will be perfect tomorrow.

1 part salt, 1/2 part pepper, 1/4 part white pepper and you have an amazing salt and pepper mix

White pepper is wonderful & you people are silly.

I don’t trust ground white pepper. It is too often just barnyard funk without any peppercorn nuance.
Properly fermented, fresh ground is the way.

Why’s it smell like a petting zoo? The world may never know.

I know it’s great once it’s mixed in with the rest of a recipe, but on its own it smells uncannily like manure, which makes it inherently untrustworthy. In case you’re wondering, I love and trust many stinky cheeses, and I fully accept that it is a double standard.

Easy to tell the difference between trained chefs and cooks in this thread.
Everything has its place.

It smells exactly like horse shit.

My friend is an elite chef and he showed me the magic power of white pepper on any type of fish, prawn , scallop. My god – it’s a game changer that I never knew about about years of cooking. Get it

I went on a bit of a deep dive on white pepper once. It turns out (from vague memory) it has the same chemical that’s found in horse sweat (maybe other animals too?). That’s why it smells like the local petting zoo.

So, the difference between black pepper and white pepper is literally the dried husk of the pepper cherry. White pepper is washed to remove the husk. If you have diverticulitis or diverticulosis, this is important as that husk irritates the intestine.
I buy the giant economy sized white pepper at one of the local international markets.

Once it was pointed out to me that it smells like goats, I was never able to un-smell that.
