Nah, I'm just teasing. Korean Bamboo salt is made from bamboo and is really, really salty. Now that we have everything salted down, lets rub in a little pepper. This is what we commonly call black pepper. The pepper that is red and burns like fire is properly chile pepper.
Pepper comes from peppercorns.
These are berry type fruits that grow in India and Indonesia. There are two varieties commonly used, Tellicherry and Lampong. Your everyday black pepper is finely ground black peppercorns. The peppercorns are also used whole and coarsely ground. This is the spice that sent all the early day sailors looking for the Spice Islands over toward the East.
