Does Pepper Deserve Its Position?
Slate argues that pepper is overrated - and I have to agree
Dear pepper, what have you done for me LATELY? That's pretty much the idea behind this thought-provoking article at Slate. We take the combination of salt and pepper for granted. It's so ingrained in our minds and our culture that you would never say "pepper and salt." It's always, every single time, regardless of context, forever, "salt and pepper."
But should it be?
