I just got some mixed peppercorns from India yesterday.
Gonna use them on my next pastrami roast.
That is cool CRG, curious if there is much difference in the taste?
UIS to me there was alot of difference.
At first I really didn't like the smell, but I tasted some of it.
Got it on a Sirloin roast will know in a cple hours.
Been using Malabar pepper for 2 years now as my "utility" pepper and won't even consider going back to what I used to use. Highly aromatic and flavorful and goes in EVERYTHING I make that benefits from black pepper...even better when purchased whole and ground as needed...great choice, CRG!
This was pre ground fine, but I will look for the peppercorns.
Other than Yard and Pool, and Frisco Spices, what are some of the better sources of supply for spices and "things we can't live without?"
Rick, look on the recipe site at "approved Vendors"
there are several spice companies listed there.
I know Penzey spices is one of them.
Cool, thanks.
I use whole Tellicherry pepper

That's what I use too.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
That is good pepper.
I get whole peppercorns from Penzeys (http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeyswholeblackpeppercorns.html).
Speaking of pepper and Sam's Club...
I regularly use a "restaurant grind" from GFS, which is not chunky like cracked, but not ground up to dust (fairly course)...
I was thinking about getting some good peppercorns and grinding as needed so it's fresher..
Anyhow, Sam's has a small coffee grinder that is adjustable from something like very fine to coarse.
It's $29
Wonder how well that would work?
JUst keep the finger down till you like the grind.
I bought mine from Wally World for $12
Dedicated to spices.
Get a paint brush and dust it out.
You could just do like FLB and and hook the DeWalt cordless up to your hand crank pepper grinder. Sounds like that works pretty good.
My Wifie got me an adjustable battery powered pepper grinder for Christmas.
She must like you pal!
My wife let me look at her new car for Christmas...

My Wife let me look at the check as I was writing it for her car last christmas.
I use an old coffee grinder for the spices. Works great.

I would have used an old coffee grinder, but we drink Community Brand with Chickory
and they don't make that grindable.
It's a Cajun thing!
CRG,
How did the sirloin roast turn out?

If you want some peppercorns with bold flavor you need to try the Whole Special Extra Bold Black Peppercorns from Penzy's Spices (http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeyswholeblackpeppercorns.html). That is my favorite. They are Tellicherry berries that are allowed to mature longer prior to harvesting.
