Things Are Getting Spicy
Although the presence of a pepper shaker on dining tables worldwide is now a familiar sight, it was not always the norm. In previous eras, the preferred spice was long pepper, which has its origins in India.
The popularity of long pepper declined significantly after Christopher Columbus introduced alternative spices from the Americas. Nevertheless, India continues to embrace this spice and it remains a prominent ingredient in their cuisine, providing a unique culinary experience for those who visit the country.
