Gah! Only picked up pepper packets with my dinner. No salt. Is pepper good as anything other than being the name of an exotic dancer?

I cannot understand how you can live with pepper as a description for the entire variety. We have:
Pfeffer (black, green, white, coloured), Paprikapulver (hot, sweet), Paprika (the fruit, yellow, green, red), Pepperoni (all variants, fresh or in vinegar), and Chillischoten (hot variants of Pepperoni, usually red). Every time I look up the English word for one of them I end up with "pepper".

Good point. Never got into that spice-zone for food. Closest I remember was this " Lawrie's Salt", a generalized condiment mix. Will look it up next time I go shopping.

Wikipedia: "Pepper is usually not included in the pastry, but the dough is usually spicy. As with gingerbread, which is also called pepper cookies, the name probably goes back to the Middle Ages, when the exotic spices were generally referred to as pepper."

... and obviously still in English.

I thought that was the Rabbit dish. ( Embarrassed)

Quite agree. The hot ones are sometimes called "chile"

Here's my version for 2021: Cayennes, Thai Chilies, serranos:

I heard you need thousands to produce just a single ounce.
Tell me about the American Woman too;).

Here is a National Geographic picture I found (its very nice):

It is from the bottom of a cenote, in the Yucatán Penninsula.

A cenote is like a sink hole with water at the bottom. They are more common in the Yucatán Penninsula than anywhere else in the world.
Presumably, this is due to the mega-disturbance or the area's geology from the Chicxulub impact (which killed the dinosaurs).

It takes a few C- notes to visit a Cenote.

I bet I could do it for less.
I have a bunch of friends (tropical fish hobbyists) who go to the Yucatán for fish collecting.
They are cheap people (cheap peep?).

There's a reason astronomers build telescopes in Chile and La Palma. They talk about high altitude and seeing, but don't believe them...

Ditto for Hawaii. Kind of skeptical of people who would study something like Philosophy in any tropical paradise. Maybe Philosophy of mixed drinks including rum?

Yet another benefit of listening to Queen's music. Reading on how it incentivized non-native speakers to learn English, because of the lyrics. As examples; from Black Queen: " ...Tatterdemalion and a junketer...". Curiosity about the unusual words , used in interesting musical compositions.

Just some very pleasant weather. It can be a rare commodity this time of year!

Kind of funny/interesting but not quite a joke. Just in case, the two pics are not related.

Why are there hot-dog eating contests but none for bacon? I think I know ;).
