My friend, The Widow Geraldine, puts salt AND pepper on her cantaloupe.

OK, I used to sprinkle a little salt on watermelon, and put a pinch of
sugar on tomatoes, but PEPPER?

There oughtta be a law!

I remember reading an article in the food section of the newspaper that
described various uses for black pepper. One of the ideas was to sprinkle it
on strawberries. YUCK!

Basalmic vinegar is so expensive! It's like $3 or 4 for a quart bottle.
So can you substitute apple cider vinegar?

That's cheap Bob. Balsamic can be *much* more expensive than that. Try
hundreds of dollars for a few ounces if you want to spend the bucks.
Balsamic is one of those things that does taste better the more it
costs. A small glass if good balsamic is one hell of an aperitif and
it also great over vanilla ice cream believe it or not. I was lucky
enough to have them both over the years and yum.

Am I gonna buy it? Hell no. ;-) I'm not adverse to getting a 25-30
dollar small bottle though. It lasts a long time because you only use
a very small amount and certainly not for salads.

It's impossible to see one's tongue planted firmly in one's cheek on
Usenet but, I'm quite sure that's where Bob's was.
The original post. My son-in-law is the chef at a rather nice
little restaurant on Nova Scotia's South Shore. The last time we went
down for a visit he served us some beautiful fresh strawberries
lightly dusted with black pepper and they were very delicious.

I can't answer your question, and certainly don't run out and get
balsamic on my say so, maybe you'll hate it and I'll feel really
bad about that.

Truth is, you only use the teensiest amount, not like half a bottle
or anything.

Actually, freshly ground black pepper works with good berries. Grind
fine so the perfume is released and the two scents together are
wonderful. Don't usually think of pepper as fruity, but in concert
with the berries, it's a full, fat smell that promises the sweetness
of the fruit with the small shock of fire in the background.

> I know!!! They forgot the balsamic vinegar!!

Last night The Teenage Kid (just turned 13, doncha know) and I played
in the kitchen with a flat of fresh figs (24 of 'em for 6 bucks at
Costco) and the million-dollar balsamic. Trimmed the stems off two for
each of us and stood them upright. Cut through top to bottom into
quarters. Dripped that splendidly syrupy balsamic on the figs with an
eyedropper; 4 drops to each quarter. Kid went back for another one.

Zowie.

Also bought a box of strawberries redolent with that scent guaranteed
to cause the saliva to flow. Sweet and full-flavored. Tonight. With
the balsamic.

After the loin steaks I cut a few days ago and salted lightly to draw
out moisture to simulate aging. When I sear them tonight, they'll be
med-rare and they'll have that dark, satisfying flavor of good beef.
Spaghetti squash with butter and sea salt. Romano beans quickly boiled
and dressed with red wine vinegar and olive oil, S&P; grape tomatoes
tossed with them at the last minute.

Dinner's around 7.

If I leave now, I can just make it. I should be there no later than the
soup course. (So, does having a teenager in the house remind you of
just how old you are or does she keep you young? Give her a hug for me.)

Fresh ground black pepper happens to be very good on strawberries, excellent on
many fuits, obviously tomatoes, but it's wonderful on orange segments, ripe
pears. and on all melons.

Basalmic vinegar is so expensive! It's like $3 or 4 for a quart bottle.
So can you substitute apple cider vinegar?

Thank you!!! A person after my own heart!! I understand that a pinch
of sugar on tomatoes can enhance the taste, and a light sprinkle of salt
brightens up the taste of watermelon, but *pepper*? I repeat: There

Sugar on tomatoes oughtta be against the law!! The area close to where I
grew up is famous for its cantaloupe and most people there eat it with salt
and pepper or just pepper.

I suspect it's a regional thing.

Sugar on tomatoes oughtta be against the law!! The area close to where I
grew up is famous for its cantaloupe and most people there eat it with salt
and pepper or just pepper.

I suspect it's a regional thing.

Sugar on tomatoes oughtta be against the law!! The area close to where I
grew up is famous for its cantaloupe and most people there eat it with salt
and pepper or just pepper.

I suspect it's a regional thing.
